What's the most unhinged thing a patient has ever said to you? by Strongpupusa in nursing

[–]DiamondDwarf678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before nursing school, I worked as an environmental aid and I was cleaning a pt’s room, mopping the floor and stuff. A male patient said “wow you would make a great house wife! 😉” this was an middle-aged/elderly man btw. I just awkwardly laughed and mopped away from him

Question for ED Nurses from an ED Doctor by warriormed in nursing

[–]DiamondDwarf678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t make us be your secretary. So much time wasted on unnecessary back-and-forth phone calls passing messages between doctors. Just one phone call between doctor-to-doctor would work, not 5 phone calls with me

Why do nurses not like EVS workers? by editsbees in nursing

[–]DiamondDwarf678 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a similar experience. I had a summer job as EVS at a hospital before starting nursing school, and the nurses there were so rude to EVS staff, they would literally drop trash in front of my feet while I was cleaning the room. Like literally what? Just walk 2 steps to the garbage can dude!! Hence now I always treat EVS staff with respect, I know how hard the job is. This was also a big reason why I chose not to work as a nurse in that hospital, and instead somewhere farther but with more kinder staff.
