Grandstanding

Dear Wannabe Lazy Grandstander:

Some people just don't get it. Working as a team does not mean showing off to the management, unions and the like to look like "you're so into everything."

No, it just shows how much you only think about yourself, when you attend multiple meetings instead of taking another shift's place so they may attend the meeting you already sat through once. How coincidental, since someone else gets to do all your work!

There is an I in our team, (you) and here's hoping someone erases it from the list one of these days. Then it will really BE all about you.

Sincerely not,

RehabRN

Nuggets for March 11

Oh, there's been so many items of note lately, I can't believe it.

Social networking (a la Facebook)

It's been a big hairy deal at our place, since one of our coworkers was disciplined for Facebook use.

Think your thoughts on Facebook are private? Think again. In fact, some insurance companies want access to your Facebook account. according to an article on ZDnet recently.

Misuse of social networking sites may have ethical implications according to this ONS article.

If you're not sure what to do and not to do on Facebook, check out this article from

Nurses spend most of their time on paperwork according to a recent study from Healthcare IT News.

You want what?
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this story on Reuters tonight: Netherlands: Nurses' union: care does not include sex.

Oh. My. Freaking. Heavens. (clutching chest). Makes me want to go back to karate class again!

Get healthy!

You gotta love those multipurpose exercises...I sure do.
