texting at work

Nurses Professionalism

Published

I don't know if it bothers anyone else, but I think that constantly texting at work (I mean constant, like their eyes never leave the phone) when you are suppossed to be taking care of patient's is so unprofessional. This is not just any job, we are nurses and we should be taking things seriously. It is so annoying to me especially when the person is ignoring their patients and the patient alarms, pumps, etc. Don't people know that you are at work and that you can not talk to them all day? What would you be doing before text messaging came around?

THanks Darla & all who gave me kudos!

I love to text, as it is short in sweet. BUt I think cell phones should be turned off (volume) and kept in one's locker while on the clock. Esp. in nursing! For Christ's sake!
