I will probably make someone mad but I just needed to vent about this issue. I work at a hospital in Oncology/Medical. The cna/tech responsibilities are to do vitals, blood sugars, bathroom duties, and turn pt. I constantly hear some of them say that the nurses treat them like slaves when all we did was ask them to do a blood sugar. In the mean time I have one pt. dying, hanging blood on another, one is complaining of chest pain, I am getting a new admit, and still haven't charted, and they can't do a freaking blood sugar because they are too busy sitting on their a@# talking on the phone. I will say that not all of them are like that. We have a few that are wonderful at what they do and I let them know that they are greatly appreciated. I don't mind wiping a butt or doing blood sugars when the cna is busy, but if they are sitting there while I am running around like a crazy person and then gripe when I ask them to do something, it really makes me mad:madface:. Does anyone else see this behavior?
