I'm sick of my boss, if she wants work to take over her life then fine, if she's not happy with her job fine but don't take it out on me. don't yell at me and say whatever when i have to go to the ER for tachycardia of 180 bpm. I don't pray but I'm praying everyday for her karma to kick her up the bum for a while so she knows how it feels. For me health and family comes first she wanst to fire me for it fine but "F" her I'm sick of her threats and yelling etc. To my boss "pay back is a *****"

Turns out I am a pretty good Nurse Manager. Could never imagine saying that to anyone. I get crap when I won't approve a vacation for 5 weeks...... or I have them work a day that wasn't personally requested.

The job is not everyones life. I am a nurse manager and a single divorced mother. My kid will always come first, and family, and I hope my staff feels the same way about their family. Its the poeple who abuse that who are the problem.

Stupid cow. I'm a straight talking Aussie and have worked with managers like this - unreasonable, too old, who need to retire and definitely too set in their ways. I would have told her excatly what I thought of her, then walked away and said I was sick and was going home.

It makes one feel so much better when you do do this in reality!

When my father died, I went home. When I returned, the head of the nursing department yelled at me, telling me I was going to receive an F in his course for missing the midterm. The door to his office was open, so all the office personnel stared at me, in disbelief, I suppose, as I left in a daze. There are people like that in the world.

OMG!!!!:eek: Such sad stories from everyone dealing with cold hearted managers. I will never forget this great CNA in West Virginia. She was the best!!! She was working on a Friday. She got a phone call at work on friday saying that her house had burned down to the ground and that all of her pets were killed in the fire. She told her boss that she needed a few days to get her life together. He told her that if she did not show up to work that following Monday that she would be fired.:mad::mad::mad:

Some of these managers need to be doused in water to see if they'll melt.

Immediately after reading your post, I saw the scene from the movie Terminator where the T-800 is thrown into water and screams out...:smokin: :lol2:

Unfortunately, this was in a small town with very few jobs. She did show up for work that Monday.:crying2:

Un fortunately another sad, evil truth of nursing.

We are just staff after, all. We are simply not respected.

When, my mother dropped dead, suddenly, I asked for time off. I was grief stricken.

My answer was "No". I quit on the spot, was then given one month off.

"But you must use all of your vacation and personal time, it can't be unpaid".

Did I hear "sorry for your loss"? Of course not, I am a work horse, not a human being.

I hope she told her boss to shove it up his wazoo. :smokin:

Wazoo?? Is that a medical term I haven't learned yet?;)
