I don't know what's the problem with me but lately some parents are rejecting me.(these are new cases,not the ones I'm currently on) The reasons don't add up though. I've been sent back to the agency about 2 times because the parents complained about my long hair. Its pulled back in a ponytail but its thick. They were telling the agency they didn't want hair all over the child. All the parents could have did was told me to put it in a braid. Another parent said I was too fat. Still one other parent didn't like the fact I was on the quiet side and she said I didn't smile enough(even though I was only there for 2 hours and I had to listen to the preceptor).
The one case I was on a long time,at first it was ok,but the other idiot nurse on the case was bringing gifts and food for the family and when I didn't do it,they started to dislike me.
I think maybe my personality gets in the way of doing peds now,I don't know. Is an introvert personality a no no for doing peds hhh?
What am I supposed to do,carry a smile 24/7? Or maybe its just personal issues with the parents,like they just don't like me and make up reasons?

'Isn't it illegal to reject someone for being too fat? That is just so rude and I am sorry this happened to you.'
It would be illegal not to hire someone based on their size but a family can reject a nurse for any reason. Some of the reasons are really nit-picky and petty.
