YES. My father was in the hospital a couple of months ago. I'm not a fan of this hospital in the first place, but he insists on going there for his doctor. He called the nurse, she came in, and he asked for his antibiotic. As he's explaining why it was imperative for him to get this antibiotic on time, her phone rings, she says, "Oh perfect!" and she bolts out the door when my father is in mid-sentence.When she comes back with the antibiotic, my father is upset that he was essentially blown off. When he lets her know this, she says, "Hey...I'm not going to argue with you, man". I was absolutely blown away by her demeanor.

Commuter had it spot on. She gets me. There's a nurse with about a year of ICU experience recently hired on the unit, she started about a month after me, and she just still has no clue about anything. She still can't even FIND anything. And there's just this laid back attitude behind her without the realization that what she doesn't know is dangerous. I'm just saddened because I see nurses on here all the time, and I know great nurses who can't find a job...and they hired this dingbat who doesn't realize she still needs to push atropine when the patient brady's down even if they're "just" a chem code....That sorta thing. Sorry to those who were confused, I've worked too many shifts in a row.

Quote from NICURN2FNPEver think that it might have been the unit secretary telling her that her patient 2 rooms down has tried to get out of bed unattended and fallen in the floor, or that her patient across the hall has pulled out all his lines and is bleeding all over the place? There is no need to be short or rude, of course, but sometimes it is hard for us mere humans to maintain our composure when all h*ll has broken loose and we are left to deal with not only the aftermath, but everything else we already had on our plates to start with.

I have often wondered "If they hired you for this job, who the heck came in second?"
