Hi all,

Recently I’ve been having issues with an other nurse. She is incredibly rude to me. She waves her hands at me out of frustration and expects me to skip my breaks to help her. She also gets very frustrated with me and is very rude.

When I was relieved by the charge nurse for break. She said to me infront of other nurses “ for good shake who is looking after the patients”. She also exasperated loudly and left the staff room. This embarrassed me infront of other nurses.

I brought this behaviour up to my charge nurse. She spoke to her and then she found it appropriate to apologise to me in front of a patient and their family and used the excuse that she has a lot on.

Should I report this behaviour further ?

Hi all,

I was on a night shift last night. Around 9pm the daughter of one of my relatives kept demanding tea and biscuits from me and also a foot stool for herself. I told her that there is a vending machine outside for tea , she refused this.

I said ‘no’ to these demands as I don’t have time to deal with this.

Are there exceptions you would offer relatives refreshments ? I only offer if the patient is EOL.

Thank you !

I was working in critical care. A large Asian family were in the bay. One of the family member’s claiming to be a nurse stated that she was going to report me to PALS for to not giving her alone time with her relative and also not allowing her boys and her to do this without the rest of the family because , she doesn’t get on with the rest of the family.

How do you deal with these issues , honestly worried I am going to lose my PIN as I’m a NQN.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I am a NQN under a preceptorship. I started in June of this year. However , I have been waiting for an operation for over 2 years and I now have an operation date for August 10th. I would also need 4 months off because of this operation.

I am worried I could lose my job if I go for this operation. Where do I stand ? Do delay my operation ?

Thanks !

Been on and off learning since I was 17 now 27 and restarting again.

When would you call it quits ?

Hi all,

I’ve been learning to drive since I was 18 on and off. I have had 3 driving instructors and had countless hours of lessons. I have also done my theory test many times due to my theory tests expecting. I have also taken my test twice but failed 6 years ago.

I think my problem is , is that I am too dyslexic and have dyspraxia so I find learning a manual too hard and I am now switching to an automatic.

Do you think this is a good idea ? And advice for passing after all this time ?
