ER nurse vs. Floor nurse

You know you ER nurses have all run into this floor nurse before and you floor nurses know you get stuck with coworkers like this and you wind up getting all the admissions.

Why is it that all the ER nurses feel this video is accurate while all the floor nurses feel it is a piece of trash? Perhaps the floor nurses should rotate down to the ER for a few years and show us how to do it right. Beware though, you cannot tell EMS the bed is not ready, YOU CLEAN IT. Also you cannot just tell EMS you are too busy to take a report, YOU TAKE IT. And when it is your mother / father / son / daughter that is brought in, it is that ER nurse who works to save their life.

I worked for almost 6 years as an ER nurse and have recently went to labor and delivery. I have to agree with the ER nurses. You have no idea what busy is until you've done it. There is no saying I can't take that pt now or the rooms not ready or the floor is on hold for everything because we have a code. When it walks through the ER doors you deal with it.... Period.

You know I worked with some floor nurses like this......but I also worked with some pretty crappy ER nurses as well. A nurse is a nurse is a nurse. If everyone did their job then no one would have anything to bitch about.....I've worked MedSurg, ER, home health, OB and CCU. There is crap in every department and it just takes away from those of us who do actually do our job.

this video just called out all the floor nurses lol I graduated from nursing school this past semester and what i observed in the ER and ICU is nurses think they are doctors or GOD lol bitch, if you know soo much why dont you start writing in the orders too lol. And on top of that, these nurses don't even know shit but just bits and pieces. And whats up with all the fucking gossiping at the nurses station! Damn, this is why nurses get a bad rap! I will make sure i dont end up like them

Where I work, you don't get report, it comes to you from the ER on a fax, they ask the secretary if the room is clean, and nurses have been fired for saying the bed is not ready, true story. Daily you can count on at least one admit at shift change.

[TruthThanks]

one of the reasons i hate nursing

As someone who works in radiology - you are all busy, all the time. And crazy, each in your own special way, but that's why I love my nurses.

Yea, and when it comes to IM, ALL the nurses and medical staff are retareded.

What I have learned from these videos: ER nurses think floor nurses are lazy, ER nurses think ICU nurses are bureaucratic stonewallers, ICU nurses think ER nurses are incompetent, Day-shift floor nurses think night-shift floor nurses are lazy, and night-shift floor nurses think day-shift floor nurses are incompetent and lazy.

I hope the burn ward doesn't learn how to use XtraNormal.

This is just silly - both ER and floor nurses work hard.
