I am feeling so low today. Trouble on the job, boss soooo . Thinking I will just get out of Nursing altogether - if I ever regain the energy to figure out what else to do, LOL. Ever had this happen to you? How do you handle bosses who are so unfair, so cruel?

I'm so sorry you are feeling bad today. Mean people suck!! As my mom always says "Kill them with kindness."
Hugs. I Hope things get better

I'm not even a nursing student yet (working on the prereqs), but I know the demand for nurses provides some flexibility. If you love nurses and have issues with your boss, how about a different facility or a different type of nursing?

Hang in there and try to keep your perspective. These things can fill up your whole world sometimes, and it's hard to remeber that there are other, nicer things in your world too.

For me, job satisfaction is largely related to who I work with. I make computer wafers now and I've always sought out good teams rather than fun jobs when making a transition. This is what I indend to do as a nurse too.

Personally, I don't think I could handle an unfair and cruel boss. I think you should muster up the energy and deal with your feet. Sometimes you got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to run.

I'm a firm believer in direct confrontation. There's a time to confront and a time to surrender. Unfair and cruel people aren't worth my time and engery and I would just quit.

Just my two cents.

Good luck in whatever you do.

So sorry you are feeling this way, I came verrrry close to leaving nursing just a few months ago, I have since changed jobs, feel much better, not as stressed and my co-workers are awesome. Follow your heart. I will be thinking about you.

Trudy,
Get that newspaper and see who else needs your services. There is no need to work in a toxic environment. The very act of looking around will help you see that there are so many other places that you could fit in. Being depressed about your job is bad for your health, Trudy. You have to take care of you. Leave the nastiness behind. Meanwhile, feel free to vent about what is going on there if you need to.

I have to agree with the above posters - let your feet do your talking. Life is way too short to hang around if you have bad bosses. Good luck...
