How happy or unhappy are you with your job as a nurse? If you can tell one thing to your higher-ups and get away with it, what will it be?

Specializes in LTC, office.

One day a month of micro-managing doesn't make up for never being around every other day.

To the Doctor-Stop whining!! You have a manageable workload, get paid rather well, AND have me to do as much work as I do for you-GEESH!!

To the facilities director- Stop riding my orifice!! I don't need you standing over me, giving me projects and duties that YOU don't or can't do, of "forgeting" to do my annual review!!

WOW!! I feel so much better!!:rotfl:

Specializes in MED/SURG STROKE UNIT, LTC SUPER., IMU.

I soooo agree. I love it when the DON talks about the nurses being lazy becasue they didn't get all the 4000 papers filled out each shift or if they have a problem with their computer code and don't have time to call the help line.....they are just being lazy. I am in full agreement that the management should push a cart for a full shift at least once a month.

I would say "stop making so much noise with your 3 inch heels and put on some flats, it's just so much more comfortable" :clown:

I wanted to say to my last boss, " You were the most intelligent, hardworking, caring director I have ever worked for. Not." But I just said, "bye".

1. Can we please have the supplies we need to do our job?

2. Can you please hire more help to answer the phones, instead of coming to the nurses as they are providing care and telling them to answer the phone.

3. When you ask me to work another shift and I say no, do not interrogate me as to why I can't work. No is no. It's none of your business what I do on my day off. If I want to sit home in my pjs all day and eat oreos, it is my business, not yours.

4. Please come out from hiding in your office and see what really takes place day to day.

5. Try saying something positive to your staff once in a while.

6. I know part of your job is kissing up to administration, but have some backbone and stand up for your nurses.

"I promise, if I am YOUR nurse, when you need one (and you WILL, someday), to deliver the same stardard of care for you as you make it possible for me to deliver to others currently in my care. When you complain, I'll be sure to put the form in your in-box."
