I agree... NONE of your business. Sounds like you are trying to take the attention off of YOUR bad actions and put the attention on someone else.

Taking a cat nap at work when all your work is caught up is one thing, but when you had orders given to you and instead of doing them you go talk on your phone and take a nap, thats another! Stop trying to shift the blame here.

I personally know what its like to have people spread rumors that you are sleeping with a doc, been in that situation (and it was not true, he just appreciated all the work i did for him and showed it by taking me to lunch and such)and it is not right. ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

maam i did fell asleep but you dont understand. i worked 12 full hours. that is alot of hours to work straight with only a small break in between and to be real honest with you i was kinda mad anyway because the other nurses were lazy and i did all the work. i said forget this.

I've worked 16, 18, and 21 hours and managed to stay awake AND ALERT while at work. And I'm more than twice your age. I agree, you have a lot to learn. Start by growing up. No supervisor wants someone like you around the workplace.

maam i work alot of hours so i really had an excuse to take a small nap. there was a study done that says employess is better at work with small catnaps to be more productive. its better to work with a few naps in between than to keep working straight and gulping coffee all nite long. but the doctor is kinda the boss in the station i work because he is the most seen figure in that area. we dont see many other managers we are on nites. they are too cozy to not be doing anything. and the only reason it is a problem for me is because they work together in the same department. if they work in different department it would not matter. its too suspicious. he was doing favors and every one was talking.

Are you a nurse? For the love of ___, I sincerely hope not.

About the other nurse's affair with a married doctor, STAY OUT OF IT. It is NONE of your business what another person does. Do you think people will honor your integrity more if you blurt out someone else's business? GROW UP, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND WHEN YOU GO HOME FROM WORK SLEEP FOR AT LEAST 5-6 HOURS AND STOP LEAVING YOUR PATIENTS UNATTENDED OR I WILL SERIOUSLY HAVE TO RECOMMEND THAT YOUR LICENSE BE TAKEN AWAY.

If you came here to garner sympathy, it's not working.

I hate to be condescending.. But I can no longer read your posts without being so.

You are a sad addition to the nursing race. You are the reason why people look down upon the nursing profession.

Falling asleep at work? Passing meds out when you are not licensed to do so? Complaint after complaint after complaint.

You don't like "snitches?" What the heck is this? Hard knock hospital?

Grow up, grow a set.. and please, for the sake of the human population, get the heck out of nursing!

P.S. I don't think a doctor is a nurse's boss

P.P.S. Sorry everyone.. I couldn't take it any longer. :no:

You have nothing to be sorry about. I feel the same way. Is this guy for real.
