Based on managers I've had like that, they're also the type who, if you correct them about something like that, will either 1. insist their version is correct, or 2. respond "Yeah that [the correct one] was what I said" 🤣 Some people are way too insecure to take a criticism lol
What about the nurse manager who hates every staff member and gossips behind their backs and tries to make everyone’s life a living hell? ... 😭😭😭 save me
He forgot the “concerned” one who comes out and pretends to help but then doesn’t really do anything but is running around like they are super busy. Lol
Oh, you have my manager too? The kicker is there is also an assistant nurse manager. He's sometimes seen with his feet on a desk...when he's not hiding in his office.
My previous one was the helpful one. She always said, "tell me what you need. I'm here for you." Then she helped with pushing stretchers, IVs, and blood draws. She made my busy & hectic ER days much doable.
I had a manger who would go to the cafeteria to get her dinner, go in her office and shut the door, when L&D was so crazy busy that none of us could even pee, let alone eat!
I'm currently dealing with a hot mess micromanaging gaslighter. The person wrote a bad appraisal on me without documentation. I did HR complaints with documentation. The manager above her was directed to make things right. I endured the nonsense for years. The person wanted someone else to get my position. They didn't anticipate my years of documentation. Don't play with my brand. I'm keeping my peace.
@@et5895 The organization benefits from results and ignores how the results are obtained i.e. unpaid work hours, gaslighting, narcissist bosses, and so on. Fortunately documentation wins.
Same here. We were lucky if the Manager showed up once a week. We just basically took over for her. One of us would make the daily assignments and we took turns being the charge nurse. When the Manager did show up, she would get upset that we were doing her job. I finally told her that since she was not showing up that our Unit had agreed to take over her duties and if she wanted to do her job then she would have to show up.
Med student here, every time I see the “hot mess” one... I wanna cry. It’s not that I’m always that person, I don’t think anyone is like- constantly that person (feel free to respectfully disagree) but we ALL have those days, and jeez they are stressful 😰😰😰
The secret is to realistically assess the actual amount of trouble something can bring...and taking note of those around you by tendencies. I mean, I'm like that too. Some people I'm square up into, because they've shown they're prone to being careless and not being responsible. Others? I'm chill with. That's wether I was charge, working with various PCTs, or as an instructor. You can relax a bit, once you know who does and doesn't need to be micromanaged. I never needed much managing and supervisors would let me run free even in my young years...oh so long ago. That is the model of how I have handled this. Some, you HAVE to stay all over. Others, you don't. Determine who's who, and your energies will be conserved. You, and everyone else, will be able to handle it a lot better.
I’m combining several of these. All of my pens, notepads, tumblers, etc. are personalised with my name and number so people know to get it back to me when I leave the stuff places. I’m also the one who’ll be on a slow shift passing meds and coming out of a room going “oh, I changed his brief while I was in there... so that’ll be good for a bit” - “by yourself??” - “uh... yeah?” - “you could’ve come and gotten me...” - “uh why?” - “you didn’t get punched or kicked?” - “was I supposed to? I don’t think he got the memo...”
I'm so lucky, I currently have the best manager ever! I work in an inpatient hospice unit and our manager won't leave if things are a chaotic mess, she will wipe a$$ with the rest of us, and won't ask us to do anything she won't do. She will also stand up to upper management and is really there for her nurses
What about the mean one? The clicky one that gossips and talks about you behind your back.we all know that one.The one whos friends get preferential treatment and vacations approved.
OMG! You are just too funny and so on point! I like "the absent one" lol. I always wondered how the rest of us don't even have time to eat or go to the bathroom but someone that is supposed to be running an entire unit can be absent and still get paid lol 😆
I just started working as a PCT on a med/surg floor and you remind me so much of my own nurse manager! These are so accurate but the part during the “hot mess” representation with “J-Co is coming” is so flipping realistic! My first week of orientation on the floor was actually when J-Co came to my hospital and everyone was running around. My nurse manager during huddle kept saying “no jetsons in the hallway, nothing in the hallway and the rooms have to be immaculate, nothing on the floor!” And then, J-Co only interrogated him and almost no one else 😆
I had the hot mess and absent manager and now I have the motivational/helper manager who is AMAZING!!!! I lucked out big time and am SOOO glad I left my previous unit. 💕 Having good managers makes such a HUGE difference!
@@jenniferbates2811 They just have high standards and strict regulations. This is for the patients' benefit. The ones I have met are not mean or nit picky, and the hospitals know the regulations so they know what to expect.
We had a director whose office had MOUNDS of paper stacked up on her desk where she couldn’t even be seen if you had moved them from the sides of the desk to the middle. I liked her but she was so disorganized and eventually they fired her. Not for that, but because of her budgeting.
I'm going tru unbearable pain right now, sometimes being a woman can be pretty painful but I'm laughing my self out and thank you for these videos I love you nurse Blake 😀
Can you do different types of nurses during CEUs? My mom's about to study for Chemo recertification and she HATES it. And everyone in the house hates it because she's a mess during it lol. Love these videos
In my years since the late 80s, I've worked under ALL of these....but that power drill! 🤣🤣🤣 I had one drilling holes in the desk to make the wires fit better 😂. She borrowed one from maintenance, but he wouldn't do it (liability concerns), so she was on her knees under the desk with the drill...had saw dust in her hair the rest of the day😁. Fun lady!!
IM THE MICROMANAGER!!! LOL we can't help it!!!! In our mind we think we are helping and in reality you tell us otherwise and we still think we are helping!!
Good Lord, most of mine were the absent ones. I've never had one ask to help regardless of their motives. I once asked one to do an IV for me. She talked about it for what felt like weeks.
I am in Australia and have the worse director of nursing! Try’s to micro manage and thankfully fails with me. Twenty years older than her and have so much more experience than her, I think it’s a case of professional jealousy. Your videos give me hope that I will continue to survive!
Yooo lol. I’m an Rt and the doctor wanted to intubate the patient so myself and my coworker were getting the ventilator and equipment lady as Nurse who is not my preceptor and nags her nurses was like “ don’t do that yet we are waiting on consent!” We already knew that first in foremost and we weren’t even allowed to intubate anyways the doctor does that ! 🤦🏽♀️🤣
I’m not a nurse yet, but I’m a patient advocate who files complaints for the hospital system I work for. The ANMs I’ve encountered are the annoyed, busy and hot mess ones. Lmao
