we have staff meetings twice a month 2 meetings the same day one for am shift and another for pm's....... half the staff doesn't even show up .Its very discouraging to see how unmotivated and how time doesn't really matter when it comes to work . I am always on time for meetings maybe because I actually care about what is going on in my department and can give my opinion on issues and upcoming changes . Its the right thing to do .

how do you go about changing the 8 hr shift to 12 hr shift my department only has 8 hr shifts . I desperately want to work 12 hr shifts I can't stand 5 days a week@ 8 hrs. Managers are very much against the 12 hr shift option why ?????

Sexy is something you can't turn off.....but you can use it to prove that there is such a thing as being smart and sexy@ the same time :))))

A guy I work with has always flirted with me complimenting me on my OR hats and telling me I have beautiful eyes although it is flattering ..... its extremely distracting and inappropiate @ work .... I mean I don't really feel it would manifest or get worse BECAUSE he is married and is wife works in RECOVERY at the same hospital. BUT people talk and I have a reputation to protect and a future of a incoming promotion . Finally pulled him aside and told him to back off and act professional , and reminded him he is married and so am I .

at least people are being honest with you the fact that there is no JOBS here is because we are still in a recession and hospitals will only hire the best of talent in the healthcare field !

Just had to put my comment in there days were killer for me getting at 4am to go to work drive in the dark and freezing temps half asleep , then come home to my daughter who is in the needest stage of toddler years at around 3 pm I was exhausted and grumpy and miserable. Finally I talked to my nurse manager and told her the truth and asked to switch to evenings I LOVE IT !!!!!! Best thing i ever did , now I will work a night shift weekend once a month which will be nice because its an extra 3 dollars and its quiet for the most part ; )

Don't care about your spoiled teenage daughter that you constantly talk about at work what a headache !!!! Come to work with a positive attitude and leave the negative BS at home !!!! No I don't have that specific item and no I can't pull it out of my a$$ sorry wish I could lol. WE are short staffed because half the people you hire DON'T work so save some money and fire the L-A-Z-Y people . Oh man srry for the negative vent , most of the people I work with I LOVE they are like my second family BUT they are some bad apples !

Just want to let you know i'm in the same boat as you every time i wake up I'm reminded work is just around the corner people with attitudes and short staffed shifts make me crazy but I always say to myself no matter HOW bad it gets at LEAST i HAVE A JOB !!!! Thats the only motivation I have to get through a crappy shift and yes the advice to go on vacation is something you should definately plan for yourself you deserve it !!!!!!

The worst is when there is NO teamwork and a lack of respect for each other ..... that will bring a whole unit down!!!

Its terrible being the outsider of a massive clique , co workers invite people to a party and left me out publicly and right in front of me several times >I am not at work to have a social life , BUT it makes me uncomfortable when people make an effort to invite others and leave me out none of them like me I guess because I don't fit in with the in crowd I never have anyways . Its like being in high school again......... for the most part I ignore it but I notice its becoming more frequent .

I learned that people in the OR have to modes , when we have a patient and were on the floor its business ,but when its slow and nothing is going on its fun and we enjoy laughing and making rediculus jokes together. But also everybody has "those" days and when I see it I avoid that person and keep my mouth shut tight lol !!!!

Catered lunch , and cards !!!!

Some are nice and others I wish would get out of the OR , this one lady who does rep services for the heartcore is a witch , everytime she sees me she asks for things and rolls her eyes I just direct to what she needs and told her to get it herself !!!!! Some I love to see bright and early at 6am one guy always looks for me and we chat a while and catch up on things !!! theres always a rotten one in the bunch !

everybody is entitled to there opinion ... facial hair should be well kept some examples I have seen in some situations were a little over the top.

hahahah works for me poor guys as long as it is able to be covered by a standard mask then thats cool but a thing like that might scare the patient lol !!!!
