Pigs
Some people are such pigs. A visitor carried out a bottle of pee from a patient and set it down on a table in the nursing station. The outside of the container was dripping pee. He did this every time it needed to be emptied. Has he never heard of a call light? None of us will dare say anything to him because he will complain to management and in our hospital, the patient and their families are always right.
It could be worse, though. We once had a patient set a bedpan full of liquid stool on top of the secretary's desk.
Maybe this is why we are not allowed to eat or drink in the nursing station.

Too bad you can't get the patients to complain that the nurses are overworked and underpaid. ;)
why can't nurses go to the management to complain about patients or famili]es who are just PLAIN rude? so unfair sometimes. but i guess, such is life!
Dave, if the patients complain that we are overworked then we get in trouble. We are expected to give the appearance that we have all of the time in the world. We should never appear to be rushed.
May, we can complain, but no one cares. Such is life, indeed.
How is it that you always make me glad that my work is desk (office) work? ;-)
