It seems like everywhere you go in nursing there is a similar cast of characters.
The Slacker
This nurse always operates at less than 100% and is a master delegator whose genius is being able to think quickly on a way to get others to take up the slack.
The Hotshot
Loves to run codes and start IVs in non existent veins
The Angel of Mercy
Mother Teresa move over, the Angel of Mercy is here to save humanity from suffering. She never complains and never doubts a patient's 10/10 pain.
The Showoff
This nurse never misses a chance to loudly toot his/her own horn. Also known as The Know-it-all.
The Critic
Always has some negative critique of the previous shift, or the work habits of co-workers. Often makes derisive comments when you give her report.
The Chart Guru
This nurse loves to chart. No form remains unfilled no matter what.
The Talker
Never shuts up at the nurses station, appears to be socially starved.
The Brown-noser
Fawns over management, kisses butt, is enthusiastic over any new policy.
The Moving Target
Either works in the float pool, job hops or works agency.
The Grizzled Veteren
She's been around and seen everything. A real journeyman nurse.
The Elitist
In a class of her own, a legend in her own mind, has a aura of snobbery.
