A packed waiting room and annoying family members.

When an RN's shift starts at 7am, and she takes a break at 7:30. What the heck do you need a break from?!

[SweetLemon]

1. coworkers who don't wash their hands

2. People who sit around at the nursing desk all shift and still expect to get a paycheck every month... Really if thats all your going to do could you work from home so their are more open seats for those of us who DO work???

[blueheaven]

Same people who come in everyday with their crappy attitudes and complain about working in my unit...moan groan....gripe gripe....One day I had it (after 6 hours of it and 6 more to get to the end of my shift) I told her that she should go talk to the nurse recruiter and check out other options if she was that miserable otherwise-HUSH!

People who think I am too young to know what I am doing. I MEAN COME ON I TOOK BOARDS! I PASSED NURSING SCHOOL! Obviously I have to have some inkling on what I am doing or else I wouldn't be working!
