Lazy nurses

Nurses Relations

Published

I'm tired of working with nurses that don't care about the patients. Very discouraging to see how nurses 20 plus years of experience end up. Please help!!!

If a nurse is busy on facebook then someone (a CNA) should be checking on the patients. If they also have twitter then the CNA will need to spend more time with the patient.

Exactly. Who the hell else is gonna take care of the patient?? Certainly not the NURSE!!

Specializes in ICU / PCU / Telemetry / Oncology.

Wondering if hospitals that ban personal cell phones on the hospital floor have more productivity in general. Especially if Facebook and other social media are blocked sites on the hospital network. Lazy people will still find ways to be lazy I assume.

Uninstall all of the Microsoft games software, too...that would help!

Specializes in retired from healthcare.
This patient wasn't cleaned. He told me he waited 2 to 3 hours for someone to come in to clean him, and I believe it. No, the nurse that had that patient didn't see to it that it was done. This is pure neglect, plain and simple. I would have washed that patient and seen to it that he never got that soiled and wet ever. So, this was a lazy nurse and a lazy nursing assistant. The lazy nurse you ask? She actually had the nerve to ask me to do a dressing change on this patient, while I had him on his side!! No, I am not going to do any dressing changes, nor am I going to turn on oxygen for him, nor am I going to irrigate his wounds. Those are beyond my scope of practice. Really. This did happen. I do not lie about those things. His wife actually asked ME how this happened, and the lying nurse told her she changed him!! She lied to not only ME but the Patients WIFE!!

If what you're saying is true then I think I'm hearing about a nurse who lost her head. Some people lie when they're ashamed so maybe she fits in this category.

If it was me that could not get in to change someone, I think I would say, "I'm sorry I couldn't get in there..." or "I couldn't work fast enough," and in most workplaces they would say, "That was YOUR responsibility!"

What this means it that any comment you make about not being able to finish your work or not managing your time translates into a lot of insane excuses.

Maybe this nurse is afraid of the state board contacting her so she got scared and lost her head and covered up her mistake.
