Most any place I have worked, I have been the lone male nurse. Most of the time there has been no problems until my last job when my nurse manager and one other nurse manager took a dislike to me for a reason unknown to me. They picked through my charting, my medex and tried to dig up anything they could on me. The finally convinced the new DON to fire me for little crap like not answering call lights and forgetting to fill out a form. Neither were true but I couldn't convince them.
I'd like to say I was jerk and deserved it, but I was probably the most popular charge in the building and was well liked by both residents and staff.
I have never been treated like that before and was wondering if anybody else had any stories of being singled out for being male by female staff. After I was fired, people would tell me it was because I worked with a bunch of women. Is there any truth to this?
