I cannot understand how someone that works in a hospital setting as a tech and is allowed to sit at a desk without offering the nurses any help. This tech does her sets of vital three times a shift and sits back down. Some of the nurses complain, but don't confront her. This tech Floated to our unit today from another unit so she could help me as I'm the only tech on my shift, well I did what the nurses weren't willing to do, I went and told the tech she needs to stop sitting around and help me with the other duties, she became very offended and told me her duties were done. I told her she was not done and it wasn't time to be sitting and that she was sent to our unit to help me and I gave her a one item list of another thing we were supposed to be doing after doing vitals that we were required to do. She got up worked for 10 minutes and sit back down at the back nurses station pod where she stays out of sight of others for the shift unless she's doing vitals. She must of just sat around 9 hours of the 12 hour shift. Well excuse me lady, you were sent to help me and if you don't think I'm not gonna complain and report how you just sat there then you floated to wrong unit. I work hard in that unit and to see a freeloader take advantage of the company time and money and my workload,, do they really think I'm gonna just keep my mouth shut because I ain't got the nerve to say anything, well she finally met me, and if I'm busting my butt and your not, I have no problem telling you so. My question is why do hospitals allow this type of behavior? I worked at another hospital years ago in another state as a tech and I never saw this type of employee behavior, yet it seems acceptable in the current unit I work on.
