I'm going into my second year of my BSN program in the fall, and have been working as a manager at a coffee shop. And here is my rant, My store is close to a hopital and many nurses (I can see it on their I.D.) come into my store. Very few of them are even slightly friendly, they are rude, impatient:angryfire , and look down their noses at me and my staff.
Alot of my staff is still in high school, or secondary education, their are a few that this is their job for a couple years until they can get their lives under control and move on to better jobs. But I feel this gives no one the righ to look at us or treat us like we are sh!t.
Why is it that in a proffession of understanding can nurses at least not seem to be friendly. And if we don't want to have to act like professionals in public when not working then it would only take the small step of changing or at least removing the ID badge. because it doesn't help public relations.
And you would think that nurses who often have to deal, and care for all kinds of poeple whould but a bigger effort into being nice to others to make the lives of others run a little smoother, the idea of a smile can have a snow ball effect.
This is my rant for the day, so please be nice to the person serving your coffee and unhealthy food, because the person behind the counter might be a patient to someone one day and it may help if they have a possitive view on nurses, or even just to be nice,
