Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

Published

Title says it all . Second semester baby nurse in clinicals at a major hospital.

Patients = Awesome

Most Nurses = Very sweet and helpful

Some nurses are rude, terse, horrible with patients, horrible with students and horrible with each other.

To those nurses I say this, please retire.

Its only a matter of time before management figures out they can live without you and hire some very hungry and very competent new grads that want to be there to fill your dusty shoes....

word...

sadly the vast majority of the time these happen to also be charge nurses....in charge of what? Misery?

How old do you have to be to be considered "a bitter dried up old nurse"?

Just asking...wondering if I'm old enough and if you are going to pay my bills :)

I have a degree in management and tons of management experience, as soon as possible it is my goal to become a nurse manager and guess what, It is going to my mission in life to bring customer service back to nursing care. Remember the customer? Yes, the one in the bed, yes, thats right, the patient.

To clarify, a bitter dried up old nurse is a nurse of any age that has been on the job for one day too long

popping the popcorn for this one....

Dollars to dougnuts that nasty nurse, who is probably darned good at what she does, can't retire due to the economy.

Here is a thought..., while that nasty nurse is still around, close the mouth, open the ears and learn from this woman. Then maybe she will think you are competent enough to fill her shoes.
