Do the nurses that you work with give you a helping hand if you need it or do they ignore you and let you struggle?

I work with two other nurses on nights. Usually it's myself and one or the other 4 nights and 1 night the three of us work together. One nurse is a God send and I have hugged her at times for giving me a hand when I needed it because I don't know what I'd do without her. The other, well let's just say she could care less if you're having a rough time. I thought we were all supposed to be a team?

:o

Thanks for the suggestions ladies and gents, but I've done for this woman many times and nothing has rubbed off. The sad part is, she is supposedly very christian, but she sure doesn't show it towards moi. After awhile you start to build up a resentment. Maybe it was something I did and just didn't realize it. She was just on a vacation for three weeks and I can certainly say that I didn't miss her and actually cringed when she returned. Maybe I shouldn't feel this way, but after awhile, you just can't help it . I can only deal with it and hope maybe someday she'll see the light. Probably the next time I really need help I'll just blow up and yell, "Hey can you give me a hand here please?" and hope that she'll come to my bekon call. How could she not???

Night....

Some people are just plain "odd"... we have a few of these odd ducks where I work, too. Don't take it personally... I'll bet if you talked with other nurses you'd find they too, get the same impression from this nurse.

Don't ever let the bad behavior of another person set the tone or detract from your own GOOD behavior.

Peace:)

I work in a unit where for the most part, everyone pitches in and helps. Even people who don't like each other will help with patient care. There are a few people who won't do anything extra, but even those people get help when they need it. NO ONE will ever let a patient suffer in our unit because of problems between personnel.
