NurseNancy

I agree floor nurses can be rude but i have a bigger problem with CCU or tel nurses being rude and lazy. I just wonder how they treat the pt when we leave. I can't tell you how many times the pt or their family members will turn to me and ask me to stay cause the accepting nurse is nasty. Haven't the CCU nurses haven't fiqured out once their beds are full they are done!!.. I always laugh when they get pulled to the ER.. it's a reality check for them.. I'm sure they think all ER nurses are nasty aggressive b.... BUT you will never hear them say a ER nurse is LAZY!!! :roll

It's funny that you should ask that question.. I just finished my EMTP certification. It took over one year. I thought since i was ER nurse for 15 yrs i could challenge alot of the course.. WRONG.. i had to sit thru 85% of the classes. I did think it was crazy that i had to do all of the clinical rotations except ER. However it is worth it to get your EMPT. Good luck:)

I agree that we all have problems getting our patients out of the ER. However it's not med-surg that gives me the excuses. It's the criitical care unit. When I call up report they are always "to busy". However they only have 1 patient. Heck i don't know what i would do if i only had one critical care patient who was already worked up past the acute phase. Then when i do take the patient up they are still moaning about how busy they are.. I just turn to them ( outside of the patient's room) and say " if you want a paycheck this week you should be grateful we have patients".. I am smiling the whole time....
