Gotta love the work drama

I know I know, its not another here we go again with toms work rants

Had a rather busy night last night, no real cool stories, but did have to treat a working girl

Anyway, I have one decent nurse, and one POS nurse. Now the decent nurse was a little off his game due to something that occured earlier in his shift, which was entireley understandable, and he still did a good job. Now the other one was hardly here (which isnt always a bad thing except for when work has to be done) and he was getting annoyed, as was i since there was stuff to be done.

The capper was she took a 3 hr break. on the overnights the nurses kind of have an agreement that they will take 2 hr breaks and cover each other. Now theres a few that abuse the privilige and their colleagues will complain but no one actualy does anything about it. It doesnt help that supervision in nursing here is a joke and its all part of what click youre in it seems.

So I took the initiatvae and gave our director a heads up on this since I had some other issues that needed to be adressed, so hopefully this acomplishes something. Our director was actualy glad I e-mailed him because they want to know whats going on, and now I am a hero among the techs and some of the nurses for actualy saying something and calling out the people in charge.

Must be a union thing where none of them will actualy step up and do anything

Are you safe from coworker and supervisor retaliation? It always seems when someone has to finally point out the ridiculousness of a situation or other people, that their the ones who suffer.

actually I think reading your rants makes my days seem better.

I hate the politics and drama involved with working in an office.

That I am not worried about, the handful of shitbag nurses we have kinda bitch about each other too so theyre not all that organized and they also see that I am tight with some of their bosses and prety much all the docs have my back. Plus a lot of them think I am some crazy white guy becasue I have snakes ride motorcycles and drink lots of beer (doesnt make me a bad person though LOL)

Funny thing is the e-mail is spreadding like wildfire now and they all think I am some sort of hero for saying something.

A few years ago i threw an EKG tech under the bus for being the lazy piece of shit that she is. the other techs actualy bought me lunch for a whole week since they had to always pick up the slack for her laziness. problem was she was a big time bible thumper and her supervisor at the time was too so she let stuf fslide for her.
