Does anyone know how to communicate?

[BlearnRN]

So we all make mistakes, right? Where did all the civility go? Why is it that to convey they one has make a mistake it seems to be in a burst of angry energy? What happened to pulling people aside and calling them out on it instead of yelling it across the nurses station and then continue to ridicule the person to the point they have to walk away? I understand some emergent issue have to be delt immediately and it happens to be like this but all issues? What is with this extreme emotion attached to every mistake. Why not deal with it calmly? Is it the fault of the management that lets this behavior continue or is the person doing it just an immature communicator? It seems to be a continuing issue on my floor and it is only getting worse. I see this kind of behavior every day on my floor between other people and it is seen as status quo. But does it have to be?

i agree and i couldn't of said it better .. we had a very bad situation a few weeks ago where anurse and the charge nurse were yelling so loud that thee patients heard them.. it was horrible and was turned into HR but nothing became of it.. and now that nurse and charge nurse are at each other and name calling and talking behind each others backs... it is so tense at work .. i see either of them coming and i duck in a room.. they are gathering other nurses to their side and callling each other lazy and ..oh it's horrible.. i only work with them 1 day a week and i hide as much as possible... people have no tolerance for each other and it's sad...

That is the nature of the beast.....er.....women I mean. I have noticed that for the most part, the majority of women are catty (I know I am going to get flammed here). But it is true. I would rather work with men any day over women. In fact, we were just talking about his at my work the other day because one nurse wrote up another, so that one in return wrote up the first one. And they were both for stupid things that could have just been brought to each others attention instead of taking it to management. Why can't women just get along? It is like there is some competition to one up the other. Drives me crazy.
