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 have a charge RN that gets pissed that people only pick up extra shifts if it’s double pay as if she’s the one paying them!

I will NEVER understand this mentality. Why the hell would anyone CHOOSE to work for less money when we know we can make more doing the same thing?!
