Is This Bullying?

Published

The unit ran out of red Jello. The Nurse Manager knows it's my favorite flavor. :sneaky:

I think jello of all colors speak to diversity in nursing.....

And those express hotels are a racket....they just want your money and kick people out two hours before official checkout for no reason.

I had a patient who refused to take the red jello from the nurse so she asked me to give it. I am only a tech and I wasn't sure I was allowed to feed the jello to the patient.

I did anyway, because after all, the nurse said so and I am brainless and do what I am told. The patient told me that she HATED red jello and spit it on me.

Should I go to my manager about this? If I do, I may lose my job for unauthorized jello administration. :(

What I want to know is, where is the toxic jello spill cleanup station?? Isn't there supposed to be one every 50 feet or so, and just who is responsible for keeping it supplied. After all, I have my BSN and should never have to stock supplies or keep jello stations filled.

And isn't red jello stronger than green? I mean after all, we must be prepared for all strengths of jellos and know the appropriate disposal for each type.

I don't like giving Jello. But I want to work on a unit that gives a lot of Jello. If I get a job there do you think the other nurses will mind giving all my Jello for me? After all, it will on,y take them a few minutes.m

if they refuse, you can always go online and ask........

I am also being bullied. First, I had an order to give jello at a rate of 4oz red and 2 oz green per hour. The physician then said to double the rate of the green and halve the rate of the red. I don't know how to calculate this, but suspect it may involve mcg/kg/min. I was never good at those, and my instructor said I should be able to do basic math by now. I find this very rude. She is clearly very jello -ous because I am hot.

Also, when my back was turned, I heard the physician singing "See it wiggle, watch it jiggle," and he clearly was sexually harassing me.

Sounds like he might be a gigolo on the prowl for female Jello jigglers.

I gave red jello to a patient last night without an order. Will I loose my license? Will I be fined by HIPPA?
