2·2 months agoWhy don’t you tell these two “experts” to shut up and leave me alone?
I don’t know if each workplace is like this, but at my hospital people are very, extremely thin skinned and if somebody feels offended because I prefer to keep to myself and to learn instead of talking about their boring lives they start acting like teenagers: he is unfriendly, he doesn’t talk to me, he thinks he is better than me, can you believe that? and much worse stuff. It’s usually a minority but this minority is large enough so most of the neutral ones within the group are cowed into saying nothing, because otherwise they’re the ones being talked about and suddenly considered not a team player, not a good employee…
very sad but true.
It doesn’t make sense to work in a group that behaves like this, not worth my peace of mind.
and having to manage personalities full-time is not in my bandwidth
precisely, neither in mine.
That answer could gain you enemies even if you don’t even interview if it’s not kept confidential.
for sure. nurses can be this vicious
then you really have no idea what you’re talking about.
oh, you’re an moderator. thanks for not deleting this thread because it bothers you I guess.
what do you do in healthcare?
2·2 months agoit’s actually very sad that your post gets the most upvotes, it simply shows how disconnected, entitled and delusional you and those who upvote you are regarding healthcare.
Nothing surprises me anymore.
You don’t seem to understand that people have lives to live and not everyone has the luxury of pretending to be an armchair doctor or nurse like you. If you’ve never worked a 12 hour shift without pauses, with people blaming you for things you cannot change nor are your fault, with people trying to punch you and raising your voice when they feel inconvenienced you should shut up.
Go back to your ivory tower. No wonder nurses are looking for alternatives elsewhere.
happy downvoting
you have several good points but this ruined a good message:
where several people have failed her in a serious matter.
where did you get that from? an elective operation can be postponed if there are no doctors or anesthesiologists who can operate or if an emergency arises and somebody from the ER must be operated within minutes. She was told several times the new date for her fathers operation, she was told the hospital is not operating at full capacity due to doctors calling in sick but she didn’t want to hear it, she even tried storming the nurses room.
If my coworker gives in to every entitled relative who yells at her and treats her this way, either my coworker will resign or take leave due to depression, a coworker who was simply doing her job to the best of her abilities managing the 20 something operations that had to be readied for Monday next week. And she gets abused for that? And you condone the karen? This part of your post seems very tone deaf. My coworker didn’t even do her pause. It is her the one who deserves empathy, respect and my support, not the karen.
As a matter of fact, next time something like this happens I’ll stop working and be there for her ready to call in security and the cops. f*ck the karen.
I don’t know if you’re aware how nurses complain of being treated like crap, burnout, losing the empathy they had when they first started working, but people like this karen are the reason why. You only need one to ruin your day.
What do you call somebody who throws a fit if she doesn’t get what she wants?
you are right, but somehow I cannot stop ruminating about this. Just thinking about them and how I was treated infuriates me.
I must insist you read the thread again. I haven’t even started my new job.
Kindly point where I’m having the exact same issues at a new job I haven’t even started.
calm down, think before writing.
this is bed nursing specific
