I work on Med Surg for the moment and my floor has all the physch and drug addicts. Needless to say, very hard to deal with. I have a "charge" nurse who loves to remind everyone that he is in fact the charge nurse. However, when things get crazy and we are all running around trying to get stuff done, or trying to finish up w/ our patients to prepare for shift change, he's there, reading, cruising the net, answering the call lights and yelling over his shoulder for whomever has the pt. "bed 2 needs pain meds" etc. And returns to his browsing!!!! I swear to Christ I'm gonna lose my mind over this!!!!! Would you not feel guilty for acting like that? As a team leader, why would one not want to help the team?
