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 PACU, OR.

Sorry if it offended, Carol....

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.

OMG! Are you in my orientation!? LOL. I have someone JUST like this!

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

LMAO. Love it!

Wow, has been many days since I got on this group. Cannot believe this thread is still running. If you don't get enough satisfaction from the previous posts, and know that there are so many out there suffering with such co-workers...do you need to quit? Please leave before becoming embittered. Really. Way too many burnt out nurses caused by co-workers, not the job and it's demands. Very sad. So many really great nurses,....lost.

Love to all, heartfelt and sincere...Safe shift everyone:)

WHAT IS GENERATION Y?

Hmm, I've always wondered this myself... now I know.

- People born before 1946 were called The Silent generation..

- The Baby Boomers, are people born between 1946 and 1959.

- Generation X, people have been born between 1960 and 1979.

- Generation Y, are the people born between 1980 and 2009

Why do we call the last group Generation Y? I never knew, but recently a cartoonist explained it very eloquently (see below)... Learned something new today!

Whatever happened to Generation I - for Idiot!

Bit extreme.

Haha. Yes extreme up to the bones!

Sorry if it offended, Carol...

Do you mean me? I'm not offended by anything on here. I just wondered what you were apologising for. I don't get riled up over much - I'm too old now and my BP can't handle it! Cheers. :)

Dont pass by and pretend you didnt see me struggle to assist a patient transfer to bed.

Dont look proud infront of my face that you answered a call light, where in fact I have answered tons of yours!

Dont be arrogant to newbies just because you are there 6 months ahead of us.

Specializes in ICU & ED.

TIC TAC STAT!!!

Yes, those scrubs DO make you look fat...

I don't understand why you are still married to this guy who won't work, won't care for your kids while you're at work, and makes you cry at work. We love you, you deserve better, and Nancy has a really nice brother...

Please, no more pot lucks!

Please really check my drips when I aks you to sign with me... I have a hard time with math and I don't want to hurt anyone!

If it weren't for you guys, I'd quit this job in a heartbeat! Thanks for being right here in the trenches with me!

Specializes in Community, OB, Nursery.

Yes, I realize that you made a good but non-critical catch. Thanks for praising yourself about it overandoverandoverandover in the course of report when I would just really like to get started with my shift.

Yes, of course, it is vitally critical to know the Apgars on a baby that is now 33 days old. :rolleyes:

Specializes in ICU.

WARNING: RANT AHEAD...

To the tech that bounced me about a property list that wasn't done (which is primarily our techs' responsibility anyway) as I'm staying an hour late after my shift to chart:

Yeah, I didn't get the property checklist done. I'm just glad all my pts are ******* still breathing! ABC's, nope, don't see property list in there. Assessments and meds, nope, not there either. Do you understand how far down on my list of priorities a PROPERTY LIST is, when I can't even get my meds passed and I haven't peed for 7 hours?

P.S.: Next time YOU don't get something done on your shift, don't expect me to be nice about it, especially since you are one of the laziest workers on this unit. You WILL be staying late to complete whatever it is YOU didn't get done.

:madface::flmngmd:

Rant over....

:paw:

I would love to tell my coworkers to pull their heads outta their rear ends because it is NOT a flattering look.:smokin:

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!!

Actually, my mother does work with me :D
