  1. I am a farily new nurse and I have been working on a Med/Surg floor for four months. I absolutely love working as a nurse and am learning alot but my problem is the hospital I work in is the most unprofessional place in the world. When in nursing school, the hospital I did clinicals at was organized. Where I work, nurses are very unprofessional, make inappropriate jokes, take their shirts off and walk up and down the hall claiming to be "a model" and many other things. We don't have a manager and when I made administration aware, they treated me like I was annoying them. My question is, Does it really look bad to look for a new job after just four months and should I stay and ignore these things and many many others even if I am unhappy? I was contemplating staying for a year so it does not look like I am a job hopper. Please Please advise cause I am beginning to dislike working there a lot but dont want to seem like I cant hold a job.
  2. I am a fairly new RN. I graduated school in May and have been working since June. I did very well both academically and clinically in school and have been told by manager/educators I am doing "excellent" at my current job. I don't pretend to know everything, nor am I even slightly over-confident. I honestly just enjoy my career. I work very hard and often spend a lot of time researching various disease processes that my patients had. My problem is this one co-worker who graduated the semester before me and has been working three months longer than me. This person irritates me as well as the whole staff because he thinks this job is a joke. She consistently makes inappropriate comments about patients including once when a pt. coded and she said well the pt. was 90 anyway. She also leaves the floor to run to the cafeteria at least 5-6 times a shift. She honestly does not know anything related to the field of nursing and always says she does not think that nurses should have as much responsibility as they have so she is not going to stress herself out. The other day, we had a rapid response on the floor which was her patient. She came to the nurses station screaming "HELP" than never went back into the room. The only nurses in the room were myself and the other RN on the floor and it was not even our pt. Subsequently, it was decided that the pt needed an MICU bed but since none were available we would use the SICU. This nurse asked with all seriousness "What is SICU?" I know that I am new and I know for a fact that management is aware of the issues with this nurse. But my thing is we only have three nurses on the floor per shift and I honestly feel uncomfortable when it is me and this nurse as two of the nurses. I am new and it does not help that this person does not take their job serious. How should I handle this?-- Sorry it was so long
