My co-workers are complaining constantly. I'm sick of it.
I work at a nice little hospital where we actually get a lot more down time than most places. I've worked another hospital where you busted your buns the whole shift, and usually needed to stay over to complete your charting. Some of my co-workers have no idea about the real, big bad world of nursing.
The visiting that goes on at our nurses station is unreal and extremely distracting. The high school dramatics and constant whining about our manager is unreal. The gossip and complaining is getting extemely old.
I work a combination of evenings, nights, and then some 12 hour shifts. The main problem is with the evening shift. Ugh! Anyone else have this problem???
What best stops negativity - is not listening. When the individual or individuals begins to complain, walk away. We had a few of these bad eggs on my unit unit I convinced the staff that we as a group could put a stop to it. Some of stated to the individual when the negativity stated, "You really brings us down and we are not going to listen.", then we walked away. These individuals resign when they can no longer stir the pot!

That's interesting......when I was a CNA, I was so busy throughout my shift (didn't matter when I worked), I didn't have time to complain!

I worked at a state hospital where these 2 CNA's would complain and whine all night long about how much work they had to do. It was awful. :angryfire They would spend hours moaning and groaning about how much work they had to do. I felt like saying "You know, if you guys would just do your work and shut the f### up you would have had all your work done hours ago." :angryfire This was one of those jobs where everybody had plenty of "down time."
