What would you think if a professional RN with a bachelor's degree in nursing who is in an upper level position in the workplace and who is even going to graduate school would eat her lunch with her hands, claiming metal utensils made her cringe and plastic is not always available? I'm talking about eating lasagna, mashed potatos, salad, dessert, etc. with her fingers, taking fingerfuls or using her fingers/hands to take the food and cram in her mouth, and it doesn't matter who is around, patients, family and visitors, the administrator...she acts oblivious to it all. Would you find this disturbing?
Sounds gross, I for one could not sit there and eat my meal with her. I would either move to the end of the table and have something to read, or not eat with her at all. Thats so disgusting, and should not be allowed in a healthcare setting. Maybe she would like to just kneel on the floor and eat out of a bowl?

I would say that good table manners aren't correlated to the number of degrees a person has. :)
I was just going to ask what the BSN has to do with it.
OP, honestly I think you should stop critiquing your colleagues and worry about going to work to work and mind your own business. We all have faults but perhaps focus on your own rather than others'.
this is stupid to be complaining about, in perspective to what really matters. such nitpick nonsense...seriously.
also, i truly think it's funny. but i have a very warped sense of humor. the way the op wrote the entry...i was cracking up in my seat imagining this highly-educated barbaric woman shoveling food into her mouth. it's entertaining @ the least.

I made that suggestion, as well as many other people, in her other threads. One would think that the majority here would have caught on to her by now. I only came to this thread to make this comment. Now I know to pass these threads by; unless one wants to catch up on the latest foolishness from this person. Sad.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is completely disgustiong and I have experienced it myself. I have a co-worker who no matter what she eats (she does use utensils, but this doesnt help her plight), you are completely grossed out. Lets say she is eating a bowl of cereal, she eats it like its her last meal, she is literally shoveling whole spoonfuls into her mouth, smacking and slurping up the milk and at the same time throwing packets of suger into it, to the point that if she has any extra packets around her, I would rather go without than to stick my hand anywhere near her for fear that she may bite my hand off like the ravenous animal she imitates while eating. To make matters worse, she has complained about other co workers eating habits. She has no idea how she looks when she is eating, food particles flying, she's talking as if its nothing. Its a shame because our breakroom is small, and there is literally nowhere to go to enjoy your food. When I see her coming, Im like $%^t!!!! Guess I wont be able to enjoy my lunch.
