  1. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    No offense to anyone in their 50's (we are all heading that way, after all) but I'm 35. I think of wearing dowdy, stuffy black pantsuits or pants at all (I like dresses) or even black business skirts and I become very depressed, it's not me at all. T...
  2. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    I don't like flats, they make me look even frumpier. I've been told I'm "all boobs" so there will be no getting around that. I did find a large enough bra that supports me well and makes me look thinner. But the shoes, I like platform high heels...
  3. Called into the office, told I'm a slob.

    I recently was having a meeting with my immediate boss and the administrator over another issue. Not only did I not resolve the issue (though I know why) my appearance was also brought up. I'm tired of totally boring and unstimulating tasks I'm being...
  4. Pets in the office? (LTC)

    I brought some pictures of my snake (Nanook) to work and showed them around. One nurse said it wouldn't bother her a bit, another nurse said she would like make a new opening in the building in the shape of a person, I got several "hmm...s", and one ...
  5. Pets in the office? (LTC)

    As I read this a mischievious grin spread across the face of my alter-ego. Bad! Bad! Bad! Smack! Smack! Smack! I think it will be a no go once it gets to the administrator for approval. I guess I can still have pictures. I do have a tame and friendly...
  6. Pets in the office? (LTC)

    Yes, he would be in a tank. I have a beautiful terrarium and It would fit perfectly next to my computer. I would like to keep him here. I don't handle him very often but he has never stricken out or bitten. I think ball pythons are magnificent creatu...
  7. Pets in the office? (LTC)

    I would like to liven up my office, which is located at a LTC facility. Another office worker sometimes brings her little dog to work and it stays in her office. I happen to like all animals and am especially fond of reptiles, but people shreek when ...
  8. "Why don't you just be a doctor?"

    Becoming a doctor is 100x more difficult than becoming a nurse, which is why I'm a nurse and not a doctor, but that still shouldn't mean that a nurse's job is somehow less important. I'm proud to be a nurse, and no one will ever take that away from m...
  9. LTC RN Experience

    I worked 10 yrs. in a nursing home and decided I wanted a change. I kept hearing that being a LTC nurse had held me back, made me undesireable. I landed a job at a small hospital and I can tell you, aside from starting IV's and pushing certain IV med...
  10. My proposed solution to being bullied, will it backfire on me?

    Yet you conveniently omitted the rest of my post on that...
  11. My proposed solution to being bullied, will it backfire on me?

    It's much, much nicer (and more truthful) than what she has said about me.
  12. My proposed solution to being bullied, will it backfire on me?

    Um...I didn't start this thread. Or are you trying to make another point, argument, etc.?
  13. My proposed solution to being bullied, will it backfire on me?

    I don't know who read I accused a whole unit of people bullying me and where, but that has not happened...must be some misunderstanding. To (attempt to) make a long story short, this is a pattern of behavior with this person, not just an incidence of...
  14. My proposed solution to being bullied, will it backfire on me?

    Right now, I'd rather be right. I have more to lose than my job. My child is in a wonderful daycare and any other job I would find would make me have to uproot everything, including my seniority. I do want this bully (and if need be) the DON exposed....
  15. I am being targeted by a bully at work, who has been nit-picking, spreading malicious gossip and trying to isolate me and make life hell. I have done nothing to deserve this behavior, and it makes me angry, to the point of going from an eager and pos...
