Messy coworkers

[trulyblessed2]

Hello everyone. I haven't posted in awhile. I have been a nurse working in dialysis for 3 1/2 years. The clinic where I work is sort of big.We have been short staffed for some time now. We have people in and out. They work a couple of weeks then leave. One person worked about 8 weeks and left. Most of the workers now are transferring to other clinics because we are so short staffed. During change over the clinical manager sits in her office looking at her cell phone on Facebook. She does not come out and help, only if we ask her to cannulate a patient. It is so stressful. This clicnic has the most turnovers I ever seen. Now she has hired techs, but it's like we are still short because they have to get trained. Again it is so stressful.

Then to top it off the coworkers talk about each other and tell the clinical manager everything and she talks about them. It's a mess. And the patients know everything that's going on. What a hot mess!

I'm guessing you have resigned by now.

I hate that for you. A horrible work environment just makes you miserable. I'd look for another clinic if you like dialysis, or another setting if you don't
