I'm not hiding

I'm just dealing with fallout. Fallout related to the end of our hospital's fiscal year.

Some of the fun  meetings I've been subjected to:

1. Year end recap
Actually, I'll be forced to do that next month. Boss didn't show for this month's meeting (that's really a waste of time).

2. Meetings with my boss, coworkers and a provider who was forced to be there.
An hour of telling people what I do, what I am allowed to do, and why you telling me what to do isn't a good idea.

NOTE: my boss sat on the sidelines watching this car crash. He/she knows better.

I had fun by pointing out how I know what you know, and when I knew it, even though I'm not supposed to do your job.

3. "Scut work"
Said provider in #2 said he/she isn't going to do the work that other providers in our system do, because he/she can delegate that "scut work" to the NP.  BTW none of the scut work mentioned here is even done by an MD in our system.

NOTE: this "scut work" requires a physician or licensed independent provider to write an order. Our MDs are really "busy" not writing as many orders as they can, especially at odd hours.

My favorite excuse: "just blame the computer". This wreaks havoc for the nurses, especially when your facility supposedly "disciplines" providers for too many verbal or telephone orders.

I really wanted to ask what he/she normally does when not goofing off, but I bit my tongue.

The train is coming, so off I go. Enjoy your day wherever you are!
