DON said mean things about me...which I overheard.

I was asked to come intoday since so many people were out. I can't do pt care, but i was asked to come in and help out with admit paperwork, etc. I have been on medical for a while, so I agreed.

The DON came into the office and shut the door a bit. I was outside the door in a chart, reviewing some paperwork.

She started snickering "Oh, she finally decided to come back to work? What the he** kind of person takes so much time off for BACK PAIN?! Give me a break. I can't wait till she's gone. She's useless. I hope you left her lots of work to do."

I was so upset. What kind of evil person says something like that when I'm outside the door? She didn't say it loud, but once she said my name, I tried to listen what she was saying. I have so many people who thanked me for coming in. PT's, patients, couple of the docs, OT's, nurses. But couple of day nurses and the DON took time out to be nice to my face and then snicker about me behind my back.

Just needed to vent. I'll be leaving there once school is done. but for now I need the insurance, so I've been helping out a couple days a month. I need insurance since I have so many medical problems, and my kids need it too.

Ok, vent over. Just upset that someone was so mean. DON's only been there a couple months. I've been there six years.

Excellent suggestion Altra.
