All critism and no thanks

[abbaking]

The past few weeks at work more and more demands are being placed on me...I don't mind hard work...but only this time I am not charting "on time", all my patients are not getting weighd on time either and I am being belittled and insulted nearly everytime I work. I seems to me that Its NEVER about the things I have done right, but only my shortcomings and "late charting". The morale on my unit is at an all time low, myself and other nurses are exhaused with the high volume/acuity needs of the paients and STILL we ge NO recognition for our hard work.

I am begining have thoughts of leaving nursing all together....It seems just when you think I cant get worse - IT ALWAYS DOES!!!

And...Its all my fault. I wish I could part the Red Sea, feed 1000 with only 1 fish - BUT I CANT!!!

Help me

i have seen a lot places like this

problem is that things get bad a little bit at a time until you hate to come to work

talk with immediate superiors if you get the plastic grin and 'we know that you are capable of doing this' find somewhere else to work

good luck

As i have learned one positve person can turn around a whole group of people. First you need to reward yourself ...you know when you have worked hard and have done a good job ...so think of little rewards ( a long bubble bath, a dress, you have been wanting a date,anything that floats your boat). Second, start to praise each other when a job is well done and work together as a group. Next come together as a group with managment and suggestions on ways to improve morale and decrease negativity. If you like the job it is worth trying to fix. For the last 27 years at the end of the shift I thank my co-workers for a job well done. When someone does a beatiful stick I say so right then. I sarted an IV the other day that noone could get in The anesthesiologist was leaning over me and after I got it he said Wow that was perfect thank you. Well let me tell you I will start an IV for him anytime!!!!!
