Busted at work :(

[Pliablemoose]

I've been at current job for >2 years after years in ICU & a decade + in ER.

Am in the PACU (recovery room) and one of the things we rarely ( like once or twice a year) is start IV's.

Last week we started rotating a bit & helping in the pre op part of the dept, and one of the big skills is starting IV's, and I intentionally kept my mouth shut about my mad IV skilz, so folks wouldn't pester me to help.

4 hours into my first rotation my co workers figured out what I've done for the last couple of years. 🙁

I've started over a dozen "problem" IV's for them this week already...

🙁 🙁 🙁

And I thought this thread was going to be about you getting fired. I'm disappointed.

Well, at least you didn't get fired.

Although, I'd hate you regardless of whether you were "good at IVs" or weren't. I hate those things. No offense.

i wouldn't like that job, but it seems to go with what always happens. if you let on that you're good at something they pile it on.

 

[lozina]

At least you didnt get caught fapping on the job, which is what I thought this thread was going to be about

anybody that is reliable gets screwed over with a lot of extra duty. You notice that in just about every job you can have. Hell, it's true even here in Cadet-land.

for some reason i think this begs for a parody post where OP gets caught fapping and then has to help people do it.

/wont start that thread

Damn IVs.. I hate hospitals in general.... not a fun place to be.

LOL, well I did call my supervisor "the master communicator" (she's a nutcase and it's an inside joke) to another co worker yesterday and the evil wench was directly behind me.

Oops 😱

Wow, you're back, where have you been?

I've had similar things like this happen to me, but I usually was avoiding being the hero for the sole purpose of trying to get the bosses to force my coworkers to do their jobs.

But, when it did happen I certainly tried to make my boss's life miserable which was kinda hard because most don't have any conscience.

Look over in the y hallo thar thread. That'll explain.

 

[M0R0NI]

Well hopefully when evaluations come around you will get noticed for the extra work.

 

[FoBoT]

oh yeah, my wife would be asking for you if she was in your hospital, she has those tiny rolling veins that are deep

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Well I can see how it would be hard to start an IV with moose knuckles.

 

[GasX]

better than starting enemas

 

[jjones]

I thought maybe you were caught stealing balloons from the children's ward. Color me relieved. 😛

 

[rh71]

I was looking for something in the negatory... like you fuct an IV up and didn't tell anyone about it... patient dies, you get canned.... that sorta thing.

Only if its paint by number

Anyway, I'm sure those patients are glad you have the mad IV skillz - its better than "Opps, missed again. Opps, missed again. Opps, missed again. Opps, missed again. Opps, missed again."

Hope you learn the lesson not to talk about people behind your back. 😛

My fiancee is a NICU nurse and starts IV's in 2 pound babies.. I know I could never do that.

It's more like co workers won't get really good at it because they don't even try...
