I've had a bad week, high volume of patients, no room in the house so nothing really moves. And it seems because I have good time management skills I and others have to pick up the slack from certain nurses. I understand if you're in a one to one situation, but when you have three stable normal pts and I have five and I'm still doing half your orders, it ****** me off. I am all for helping out and working as a team, but when my charge is constantly telling me to do other peoples orders it kind of sucks! I'm tired of having to do triage two nights in a row because other nurses refuse to do it...how are you allowed to refuse your assignment? I'm just very frustrated after a bad week. Especially since it's always the same nurses who need help, but rarely lend a hand when you need it.
Rant over!
