I am ready to pull my hair out. I am working with an agency nurse in a small unit, just the two of us. She is chewing her gum so loud and smacking her lips, I just am afraid I am going to scream.
Bad enough she already trashed talked some of our Drs and our charting, and how we dont keep XYZ drug in the pyxsis.
Bad enough that I have to pull all of her paperwork off the computer and enter all of her labs and order all of her diets, but now I must sit here trying to chart listening to the gum chewing!!!
I dont want to be rude, the advice I would give to someone like me would be simply say "excuse me, but the gum chewing is bothering my concentration" yet I cant find myself to say those words.
Any other advice before I scream!!!!

Or you can just say: "Hun, I don't want to upset you but few patients complained about your gum chewing" I just want to give you heads up so it does not happen in the future... Any other questions? I am the best when it comes to manipulation :)
