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

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 geriatrics.

Stop prying into my personal life! Seriously, why do you care so much about what I do with my days off??

To the person who always likes to point fault with everyone: Why don't you focus on your own work? We have to go behind you often, although we aren't picking at every little thing!

Specializes in Med-Surg Nursing.
For the always messy nurse - "Did you code this pt during your shift or did a

bomb go off?"

For the previous shift that left the med room with sticky substance on all the

counters, needle wrappers on floors, meds out of pyxis on counters, "Gesh,

what does your kitchen look like at home?"

I have these same nurses working with me. There are times where I spend 30 minutes cleaning up after them! Really? Who cleans up after you at home!! I'm not Ms neat freak at home but I like things PRISTINE at work. Our patients and coworkers deserve that.

YOUR MOTHER DOESN'T WORK HERE! PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF!!

You talk too much.And you are not funny.Your stories are not funny, your jokes are not funny.The only funny thing about you is that you think you are funny, and it's not funny haha...it's funny like spoiled potato salad. Zip it, spare us all.Please!!!

is it necessary to tell an 88 year old woman that you are going to take her to shower because she nees to wash her lady parts? to the aide who yelled that out to grandma: have some respect you cow.

seriously, i heard an idiot at work say this to a patient. *** x 4563322 million.

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.

Love this one!

Or when the guys bend over and their scrub pants have fallen down, and all you see is a big hairy bum crack! I don't care if you have a nice orifice - I still don't want to see your bum crack (or anyone elses for that matter!)

To my evening coworkers: You guys rock. I look forward to evenings just cuz I know that you all will be there. You make me want to do better and you bring new meaning to "teamwork!"

(I plan on telling them this!)

I'm sorry, my fault...I forgot you were an idiot.:smokin::smokin::smokin::smokin::smokin:

Or - do you act like an idiot normally, or is it just genetic?!

HEEHee don't forget the old line about "You are correct, I am fat. However, you are stupid and I am losing weight!!!" hee hee

Specializes in floor to ICU.

To the charge nurse: Please don't make me give report to that nurse. I already had a crappy day and now because of your assignment I am going to be here and extra 20 minutes combing through the charts with a fine tooth comb (one pt has 3 thinned charts!) until Madam is satisfied and has all her queries answered...:uhoh3:

Specializes in NICU.

Oh sooooo many things I could say!

*If you're so f'n smart why DON'T you go to med school?* to the nurse who truly does feel she is so much smarter than alllll the docs in the world.

*Sure, take a little bit longer of a break or another break right now. Clearly your 90 minute break this morning was NOT sufficient, you still look quite tired"

*I really do love you girls, I do work with some amazing nurses, and for that, we are all very lucky. Now if we could just get rid of x, y and z!

why not invest in a few "plumber's t-shirts" like a contractor working on our house now wears? he can bend w--a--y over and stay decently covered. i care not a bit what your hairy orifice and its crack

look like. cover it or pull your pants up to your armpit, hot stuff!!!
