20 bad behaviors that will tick off your coworkers!

1. Order out for a meal but don’t ask anyone if they want anything (and/or taking a trip to the vending machine without notice)

2. Add your two cents about everything without being asked

3. Sit on your butt the entire shift when everyone else is running around working like dogs

7. Complain that you “always get the worst assignments”

Amy is many things: a blogger, a nurse, a wife, a mom, a childbirth educator. She started her journey towards a career in nursing when she got pregnant with her first child. After nursing school and studying "like she has never studied before" she entered the nursing profession eager to get her feet wet. The first years provided her with much exposure to sadness, joy and other complex human emotions. She feels that blogging is a wonderful outlet and a way for nurse bloggers to further build their community. Traditionally, midwives have handed down their skill set from midwife to apprentice midwife. She believes nurses have this same opportunity: to pass from nurse to new nurse the rich traditions of this profession.
