We have to kill millions of trees because we are required to scan down an actual paper Medication Request Form so we do not "interrupt your concentration" with phone calls.
First: What do you think the doctor order's are that we scan down, a fake order? If it is written, I need it!!
Second: Why must I request a scheduled med? Why aren't you doing your job and restocking?
Third: WHY is your "concentration" so much more important than mine? Where's my freaking Nurse Information Form that YOU have to scan to me so I do not get interrupted by the 87 phone calls that you make to me every single shift?
Yes I AM a RN, amazingly, just like you! I don't need to be 'told' what to do, or talked down to, or told how to do a BSL (please...). And, Surprise! I went to university, just like you! I obtained a very high GPA and do not lack confidence or being able to stand up for myself. So do not treat me like an idiot, or call me in front of others 'the agency nurse' (this has happened to me). I have a name, if you 4get it, ask me what it is. I am not a 'thing'.
And also, I work just as hard as you and I am here to help you. So don't complain that I didn't do something, when you didn't even communicate or ask me to do it! - and yes I DO write things down and have a memory! Unfortunately, my university did not have Mind Reading 101 or Crystal Ball Analysis 102 on it's curriculum (I wish it had though).
I am not 'less than you', I am equal to you. I always work hard and check on the patients constantly. You are not somehow 'better' than me cos you work here fulltime. In fact, I probably have more experience than you in many ways, cos I work in so many different units/wards/departments.
Treat me right and I will make your workload a LOT lighter!
"Quit flirting with the surgeons and do some work".
Yeh! When I did my clinicals in theatre at the RAH in Adelaide, it was always the older, married nurses trying to flirt with the young doctors. I used to laugh and felt like saying: 'You're just making a fool out of yourself'. But it was some entertainment to liven up the list I suppose.
"Thank you for bordering incompetence. If you were a productive member of the team, who put as much effort into work as you put into complaining about other nurses, other shifts, management, old management, new management, patients that are too sick, patients that aren't sick enough, how assignments aren't fair, how you shouldn't have to do an admission, ever, how the entire professional world is plotting your untimely demise. . . If that happened, well, there would be nothing left to do, and everyone else would be out of a job. So thank you."
"I am ever increasingly amazed and gratified by our ability work harmoniously, learning from each other and pushing each other to excel, and I'd like to give you a great big hug."
Stop criticizing everyone who doesn't do things just like you do. If I wanted your advice on the minutiae, I would have asked. If you spent more time on your own work and less micromanaging (when you aren't even in management) you would have enough time to get everything done. Also, your rude attitude, preachy self-righteousness, and self-appointed moral superiority are laughable. Your grammar is appalling and your self-esteem must be in the toilet to need to be cruel to students. We all wish you'd get fired and there is a reason your student evaluations are horrible, and NO it isn't because the students are lazy. They have given up and are demoralized because nothing they do ever makes you happy. There is also a reason you're always sick- your own cruelty is poisoning you.
To everyone else: you brighten my day, make me laugh, are wonderful educators and nurses, and I am so lucky to work with you. Thanks for demonstrating compassion, humor, professionalism, and competence to a new generation of nurses. I love my job and I love working with you!
Get off your cellphone and do your job already! They don't pay you to yuk to your sister about getting your nails done. And, to one particular CNA: You're changing a poopy diaper with a cell phone wedged between your ear and your shoulder?!? Don't you remember what happened last time?

to the psych aide who is absolutely obnoxious with patients and staff alike and who brags nonstop to anyone she can trap about the all "a's" she's earning in nursing school: i know something you don't know yet. your ___professor is my husband and i averaged the midterm exam grades after my husband graded them, and you got a 37%. so shut your big fat mouth already!
