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.

There's no need to wear perfume to work, let alone BATHE in it!

I don't think your 2" blood-red fake-diamond-encrusted talons fall under the facility's nail policy.

Did you put your perfume on today with a crop duster, ha ha! cos baby, you REEK!

1. If you're going to call off once a week, why not just cut your hours? The family medical thing you're abusing doesn't entitle you to be paid for your sick time, so it doesn't make any sense to string us along on a weekly basis. Oh, and please keep track of your excuses because it doesn't look good when you tell one coworker you called off for Reason A and another that you called off for Reason B.

2. I can't believe this place pays you to do nothing all day!

3. I don't need to know about who annoyed you last night so please leave that out of your "report" or at least keep it short and sweet. You are wasting my time.

4. I've just worked 8 hours and I want to go home. Please show up on time (like I do) and for the love of god, **** about your assignments and listen to my report so I can get out of here! (I swear, one day I am going to start giving report whether anyone is there/listening or not).

5. No, I will not help you. Maybe if you hadn't already gotten on my last nerve, I would!

6. It's called a tissue! If you sniffle one more time I am going to slap you.

7. Your fake tan is hideous.

To the doctor's office staff: Just freakin' tell him to call me ASAP. It's important, I promise! :rolleyes:

Yeh! Like you would call for no reason and waste your valuable time (and theirs). Helloooo!

Stop yawning - from 0800hrs onwards on a day shift.

Yes we know you are a young one with a busy social life but please try to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I'm twice your age and can run rings around you .... one of the reasons for that is that I go to be early before a day shift. Another reason is that I have breakfast before I come ...this makes a big difference, believe me

Yep those ones contribute to my sinusitis. I can feel my turbinates swelling as soon as there's anything by Estee Lauder or Elizabeth Arden ....boy are they pungent !!!

And is it just coincidental ? - but those ones seem to be super worried about any bathroom smells and crop dust the bathroom with odour neutraliser and that really makes me feel quite ill

Could the bathroom bad-smell-neutraliser crop dusters please refrain from this action. Just do #1's in the immediate location (no need for the spray) and #2's please far away from the floor

Don't read the pts history when giving me report. It is written on the care plan and I can read.

Lay off the perfume, you are gagging me!

Answer your stinking call bells

Whining and complaining every day will not keep me from assigning you a new admission

Oh yea, and stop hiding your discharges from me. Everyone has had an admission, it's your turn!

Let me do the assignment board, it my job. You are thinking about only how it will affect you. I am thinking of what's best for the entire floor. (I actually did say this and it didn't go over very well) ;)
