I asked the tech to take 5-10 minutes of her time to walk my very sweet patient when she got him out of the bathroom. I go in his room a half hour later and he tells me she didn't even offer to walk with him. Mind you this is a frail 89-year-old who isn't going to be able to walk very far so it would only take a few minutes. So, even though I'm behind as all get out, I walk with him. No less than 15 minutes later I walk past the nurses station and this tech is on Facebook--I wanted to wring her neck.
Don't get me wrong I work with many wonderful techs but I could do without this one--burns me up--she had only been on the clock 2 whole hours so I was very glad that she already had time to check Facebook!
Now that I got that off my chest I can go to bed without stewing about it. Goodnight folks.
Facebook was blocked for about 4 weeks. after 3 ICU nurses took a picture of HUGE bloot clot(2 nurses were holding it, about 3 ft long)....and posted it to FB.
the 2 nurses holding it were disciplined, the 1 who took the pic and posted it got fired. It was very clear where the pic was taken. nametags and info very visible.

I have never heard of a site like that. Wow. People have WAY too much free time.
