Right now I'm having an issue with the night shift LPN. She is always crabby when she comes in and criticizes almost everything I do or say to her. Supposedly she has a bad home life, but she shouldn't take it out on me. Sunday evening when I worked, I was really busy...and when she came in, she jumped my case about all the changeover paperwork not being done. Every other facility I've ever worked in, this was night shift's job. I apologized to her and offered to stay over and help her with changeover. Her response? "I don't need your help; the only thing I need you to do is stay the hell out of my way!" I'm seriously considering filing a grievance against her. I asked my preceptor yesterday when I happened to see her which shift is supposed to do changeover and she said nights. So this night shift nurse is really chapping my hide!!! I'm sure I'll think of other pet peeves too....what are some of yours? Blessings, Michelle

As a spin off to the nursing ghost stories thread, I am an avid reader of anything regarding death/dying. I just wondered how many near death experience stories we as nurses hear from our patients. Apparently, the bright light stories are common, as are the stories about floating above your body. Any others???? Would LOVE to hear them! Thanks and blessings, Michelle
