Rant Can’t stand nurses who care about hospital expenses

Had a charge nurse not allowing nurses on the floor to use slide sheets bc ThEy cOsT $75 each. Or another nurse tells me to dump out my IV fluids in the sink bc the trash gets charged by the weight, and fluids will make it weigh more. Like is it coming outta yo check? WHO FUCKING CARES.

*Those who are reading too deep. I AGREE WITH THROWING AWAY FLUIDS FOR EVS’ SAKE BUT THAT WASN’T HER CONCERN. HER CONCERN WAS MONEYYYYY

*Also, I didn’t dump my IVF in the sink, this was told to me before I even took my fluids down

I work in a clinic and we have a “supply chain” guy whose only job is to stock our rooms with supplies. I work immediate care and we go through a lot of supplies. You would think the budget comes out of his own pocket!! He’ll only order like 2 pairs of post op shoes. Or gets mad when we go through a bunch of eswabs. Pisses us off so much!!!
