Well, an update

[sharann, BSN, RN]

Hi,

Well, I don't know if you recall I had quite a lively thread going about nurses where I started working a few months ago speaking in a language other than English, constantly on the unit. Well after consideration I have decided that I had 2 options.

1.) Ignore the insulting behavior

2.) Leave the facility

I chose #2. I am not able to tolerate it anymore. I think these nurses know who they are and others who do this as well should really think hard about how hurtful your talk is to others around you, your co-nurses, your patients. It is sad. This is a shame because aside from this these are terrific skilled nurses.

What a waste. Fortunately I have a position to go back to where this is not occuring and wouldn't be tolerated for a sec.

Thanks to all for the food for thought. I have been so depressed and angry and tearful for 2 weeks now. I will be resigning soon.

Take care everyone and be good to eachother. We are all we have, to work united as nurses in alliance.

Thanks

We always have choices.

I hope you are happy in your new position.

Peace.

Oh I surely will. I told them this earlier too and they said "oh we have had complaints like yours many times"

I guess thats my answer!

It seems to be that management knew about this issue, and chose not to address it.

I have been in a similar situation, loved the job, loved the girls on an individual basis, but my head ached at the end of a shift from listening to them chat in their language. I don't thing they were even aware their behaviour made me feel isolated. Good luck for your future. :nuke:
