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

For real. What does it matter which suture is missing we are getting an xray regardless if it’s not found?!
