Your Pet Peeves in Nursing..

[Katie5]

I absolutely totally detest being called, "Honey" or whatever other terms of endearment catches the person's fancy. Please stick to professionalism- I have a name, please use it. Tried to put myself in other's shoes and use the term and it was so foreign and unnatural to me.

This peeve, irks me to no end:uhoh3:.

putterers - people who work all the time, but never seem to be able to get anything done. obsessors - people who make the job 50 times harder than necessary for themselves and all the rest of us if given a chance. if one form will work, they create three for us to fill out. and they always seem to be the ones on all the committees.

i call them "ditherers". and yes, you're right. they are annoying in the extreme. change of shift report is usually annoying too because if they're the one giving report they always have six or seven "good reasons" for not doing something that would have taken just a minute to do but they don't like doing it so they didn't. and if you're giving report you get interrogated over anything you left off, no matter how legitimate the reason.
