A thread for the airing of the grievances. Also known as "med room consultations." 

Specializes in New Critical care NP, Critical care, Med-surg, LTC.

Why can't anyone in my family properly load the dishwasher?! 

Sorry, wrong rant thread, but that's my issue today.

Do any of you watch "Severance"? That scene where Dylan teaches Helly about "tier incentives". Erasers, caricature drawings and finger traps... all incentives for meeting his quota. I immediately thought of health care! At least they get dance parties at Lumon! ?

Why can't people put another roll of TP out when they've used the last square on a roll? When I worked in the hospital, I always had to make sure there was TP before I sat down in the nurses restroom. It happened so appallingly often, I just couldn't believe it!

Specializes in LTC, assisted living, med-surg, psych.

Why am I the only person in my family who shuts the bathroom door after they leave so the dogs won’t get in and chew up the toilet paper??

Apple Dumpling is the only aide on the floor so she will not be taking your vital signs, she will not be checking your sugars or answering your call bells. But, let her know if you need something.

My work wife Eleanor used to say about her kids when it came to just picking their stuff up around the house,

"They act like they're blind and broken at the hip!"

Okay, here's an oldie but a goodie, straaaaaaaaight from the groovegard:

"What is your problem?!"

This question is typically asked with a condescending tone and is passive-aggressive, indicating that YOU have a problem. "If you are unaware that you have a problem, I'm pointing it out to you!"

The last time this question was used on me was by no other than...drum roll, please....

a THERAPIST!

This therapist was interrupting a shift report and I requested that he not.

"What is your problem?!" he asked.

"You are", I replied, and etc.

Thank you, Raven Sierra. That felt good.

I have got to agree with all the pet peeves and add leave me the empty pill bottle on the weekend and no refills ordered.  UGH.

Specializes in Rehab/Nurse Manager.

Coworkers: "We'd love to help you out"

Me: "Would you be able to help complete wound rounds for Mr. N? He is the only person I haven't seen yet this week"

Coworkers: "Sorry, we haven't been able to get to him.  We've been so busy completing wound rounds on patients your coworker wasn't able to get to." 

Not just this week, either.  This seems to be a common theme every week, where I'll ask for help with just one thing, but people bend over backwards to help the other manager, since she needs assistance with 18 things.

Toilet paper was a priority locked-up item and we didn't have a key for hskpg supplies. And same went for lightbulbs.
