What offends you (nursing related)?

[milesims]

Discuss what offends you the most and why it offends you.

Here's a quick poll;

[SWM2009]

The "nobody trained me/showed me how to do this or that" excuse to not doing your job especially when you've been working at the facility a year!

Being told in report how a resident is so so sick and has been declining since the reporting nurse started their shift and when you ask "did you call the doctor?" the nurse reporting says no. So then you ask "are you going to call the doctor" and they say they were going to endorse that to the next shift, meaning you.

You're not serious right now.

Do you have any idea how busy a primary practice/specialist's office can be? Do you know how far behind a provider would get if you show up JUST ten minutes late??? It is YOUR responsibility to get to your SCHEDULED appointment on time. Being "severely disabled" is no excuse. And I've worked with people with severe disabilities.

You know you've just compared how deserving of respect the challenges of being severely disabled vs running a very busy office are? And come down in favour of the busy office?

Where has NOADLS been?

Hahaha. That was my first thought too when I read this!

Nurses who eat their young. Bullying coworkers because they are new, instead of helping them.

I'm still a nursing student but "nurses eating their young" offends me. More accurately it annoys me to no end.

Bullies and miserable people exist in all walks of life not just nursing.

But when people use NETY to play the victim or feel better because they got justifiably put on the spot, corrected, or because someone doesn't jump for joy upon laying eyes on them, that offends me more.

I forgot to include you in my list of awesome students in WILTW. I'll go do that now.

OH, youre THAT person.

Can "people who do the 'you obv love me' thing" be added to the poll?

I complete agree with you

So, the office should just completely throw off their work flow because someone isn't able to get to their appointment on time? Let's do that for EVERYONE. And see how you enjoy sitting in the room for an hour or so past your scheduled appointment time waiting for the provider because everyone gets to be late because they're severely disabled. I mean, why should the person take no responsibility for getting to the appointment on time?

Do you like staying over on your shift? You'd probably get a little sick of it if it happened day after day. Doctors are no different. Not to mention the entire office staff/ MAs that are stuck there because all of the appointments ended up running over, all because one person was "10 minutes late".

I, too, spent about 15 seconds trying to figure out how that had anything to do with Pat Benatar before my reading comprehension kicked in.

HA! Thank goodness I'm not the only one!

Awww shucks! That's the best compliment on AN ever. I feel honored lol. 😁

[Farawyn]

Done.

Thank you for wiping my ass in 30 years...

I agree with Farawyn. It's refreshing to see a student with your maturity.

(LOL, I inadvertently typed "maternity" instead of "maturity.")

Yes, they should definitely change the way they work to cope with the needs of severely disabled people, I don't find that at all unreasonable. I wasn't suggesting doing it for everyone, maybe reserve the tough love for the irresponsible and tardy able-bodied and minded?

And you can cry me a whole ocean about how hard it is to cope with one late person. I'd still prefer to stay a bit late than to expect severely disabled people to attend bang on time with no quarter given. Or to be that disabled person. My primary priority would be to try to organise a system which doesn't collapse when one person is 10 minutes late.

I also wasn't saying everyone should take no responsibility. I just think there should be a little flexibility. Compassion. Humanity. I don't think many severely disabled people take "no responsibility" for getting to appointments on time. Maybe some do, you could always have a sharp word with those people if you felt that was an appropriate response.
