Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

Nurses Relations

Published

Please don't label this thread "negative". It is meant to be fun.

Your scrubs are ugly.

I don't think you are "cute" when you get all googley-eyed and giggly around the young docs. I think it makes nurses look bad.

I cannot BELIEVE you were nominated for A Daisy Award! Did you nominate yourself?

It's called deodorant, use it.

Do your own assessment and stop badgering me for every single detail during report.

I swear I am going to put Ex Lax all over my lunch so the next time someone calls out for the runs, I will know it is you who keeps stealing my food!

Yes, my stethoscope is nice and it was expensive. Buy your own.

No time to help me turn my patient, huh? Yet, every time you need help, I have been there for you.

Your situational awareness sucks. While you are browsing the latest deals on the internet, I am drowning. Look around and help out your coworkers.

I'm happy you look rested and ready for your shift. Next time get here 15 minutes earlier so I can leave on time and be rested and ready for you.

No, you don't ALWAYS get the crappy assignment. I don't think you'd be happy with ANY assignment.

If you're sooooo sick of this place- leave.

Specializes in LTC, med/surg, hospice.

-Don't hover over me while I'm writing down info. I will tell you when I'm ready to give report. You never give report on time. In fact, everyone hates giving you report because you are late and take the longest the get report.

-I'm not the only person you can call and ask questions. The other nurses know important phone numbers and the location of supplies/forms.

-Calm down with the body spray. If it makes me nauseous, I can only imagine how your patients feel.

-Sometimes I wonder if you have a mind of your own because you can't seem to make any decisions about what to do with your patients without my input.

-I don't want to hear your little stories during report. Just give me the report and be on your way.

-I really appreciate you coming in extra so much but I think you are crazy!

Management

-The lounge didn't get cleaned up because we were so busy, ya know being short staffed and all that no one got a break. They were lucky to pee.

-The timing of your meetings are very inconvenient.

From staff when they tell me I'm no fun and this one I have said LOL

See my paycheck stub it show payment for: NURSING/Staff and NURSING/Charge......no where does it show payment for: NURSING/Being fun!!!!!!

Never been at my best when I first wake up and thats where this one comes from LOL

Other: Why don't you talk to me when you come in?

Me: 1) Umm I just woke up

2) I don't know you yet and not sure I even like you!

Specializes in ICU, home infusion.
Dr. X, please stop doing "remote care". If I knew that being a doctor meant reading a triage note in a computer, eyeballing the person from across the room, and then writing order, then I would have gone to medical school.

(laughing, with tears rolling down my face):lol2:

Good one, Mikey!

Specializes in CVICU, Obs/Gyn, Derm, NICU.
Stop criticizing everyone who doesn't do things just like you do.

Oh yes ...isn't that annoying.

'The one way my way' thinking style ..... what other professional thinks like that ?

I am so over working with 'professionals' who handle information at that level.

My message to the 'one way, my way' types ....

- Get some proper university education now (obviously some nurses 'have it' naturally - but you are going to have to do the hard slog)

- Find some sophistication

- Find some manners ...it's rude to nitpicky someone. It's negative and not particularly effective - it also easily crosses the bullying threshold. If you have no idea have to behave ...then you can start by broadening your social circle and start learning

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%.:eek: so shut your big fat mouth already!:rolleyes:

i would have a field day with this.lmao

Specializes in Obs & gynae theatres.

To the theatre team who were due to relieve my team tonight. Check we can stay over before you send for your last patient an hour late. No point checking with us when the pt is already on the table. Grrrrrr...............

Specializes in LTC.

so.... you say you've been giving that megase since the 14th???? well today is the 24th and the plastic is still around the lid. Never even opened the bottle yet. if your going to lie ... at least make it look like you gave it. do your job!!!

Specializes in Psych, OB-GYN.

To the new nurse in orientation with me: OMG, you're one-upper personality is on my last. $%&^. nerve. Please, for the love of all things good, shut your mouth.

And yes, each time I turned over my ipod today I was recording your know-it-all stories and attitude. I complain to my husband about you frequently, so I wanted him to hear it for himself - instead of thinking that I was exaggerating!

Specializes in long term care, alzheimer's, ltc rehab.

just had to say this after last weekend:

to nurse g on 3-11 shift: if you make one more of your ignorant comments about how i don't "belong" at this facility...i swear to god i will end up in jail for mopping the floor with your dumb a$$! yes, i do have cerebral palsy. no, it does not make me "stupid", "demented", or "retarded"!

i feel much better now

Yes, you did just catch me staring at your underwear... it's hard not to when you bend over and your neon-orange leopard print thong sticks 5 inches out of your scrubs.

If you want your patients to not look at you like you're a whore, dress and act like a professional.

To TF:

So funny, so true...orange leopard print thong....I'm dying:yeah:

Specializes in long term care, alzheimer's, ltc rehab.
