Nurses General Nursing

Published

She is every thing I am not. She is tall, super intelligent, witty. She can wrap every doctor around her little finger. She talks doctors into giving orders that she feels are more appropriate then what is currently ordered. And she is always right on target in her suggestions. She is also very helpful, nice, and so organized that she has free time to glance thru a magazine or sit down during her shift. She also commands respect and does not take any dirt from anybody. I am watching and hoping some of it will rub off on me.lol :chuckle

Anybody else work with one of these immortals?

I worked with one once. She was older and could not move very fast but ate our lunch with her knowledge. She was also British educated.

not to that extent BUT i did work with a very dedicated nurse in an LTC. she does eve shift (2-1030) but is at work by 1pm and does NOT leave until about 4am (although she clocks out at 11pm) just to finish her paperworks. she used to be in the military but honestly, i don't know why she can't manage her time. she has a medication aide, who gives all the meds. i really don't know how hectic it gets during her shift...i was just thankful that she did not leave me unfinished work. :)

Specializes in Med-Surg, Trauma, Ortho, Neuro, Cardiac.

I've met a few in my days and watch them like a hawk and pick up what I can learn from them. But alas that's not me, I'm a pretty super nurse, but no time to flip through magazines, still a bit disorganized. :)

(Do we have a little crush Raphael??? :rotfl: j/k)

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

I think everybody works with at least one or two of those "super nurse" types........but if you ask them how they do it, they just look at you with that blank look and go "What do you mean?" :chuckle
