Discussion

TMI

Last night a couple of my coworkers were hanging out at the nurses station discussing their sex lives loudly and in detail. It was just too much information for me. (edited: for less detail) I mean really who needs/wants to know that. :icon_roll:rolleyes:

To top it off there were family members wandering about but these nurses and CNAs did not even factor that in. There were even a few residents who are with it by the station. I am so not a prude but I felt it was so classless of my coworkers to carry on as if they were in a bar. I would rather talk about poop sizes then discuss my sex life or hell anything with my coworkers.

Hello, people time and place for everything. I walked away embarrassed that family members were privy to this conversation. I was embarrassed to be a part of this "team". I wanted to tell them to shut up but was too chicken poop to do so. I won't even bother to bring it up to the DON because she has a way of minimizing concerns and turning it around to make it look as though "you" have the problem. She is waste of space and a title...but that's a new post. :devil:

So what would you have done?

    P. D.--

    Looking forward to your post on waste of a space and a title. (Seriously.)

    Why not just tell them it's inappropriate and residents/visitors can hear them? Seems a simple solution that could work. Before I report them I would give them the opportunity to correct it. If they continue then take the next step.

    I agree, although you may not be popular with your co-workers for a few days, you should just tell them that it is not appropriate conversation for the nurses station.

    Saying things online is a heck of lot easier than saying things in person.

    Thank you!

    You're very welcome. I struggle with it daily. :)

    I once found myself in a similar situation. One of the other nurses was swearing pretty heavy duty swear words--at the nurses's station, with family members & visitors walking by & coming up to the desk often. I reminded her that there were family/visitors around & asked her to please watch her language. Of course, she didn't like that too much, and pretty much told me to mind my own business. So, I reported her to the head nurse who said she would address that with this nurse. Don't know if that actually happened, or if maybe the offensive language nurse decided maybe she should watch her mouth. Either way, she seemed to decrease her use of such "flowery" language.
