Help! I'm frustrated with the people I work with.

Recently I have been dreading going to work. The people I work with talk about each other. There's a lot of gossip going around. It seems as though most do the minimum to get by. I'm a really hard worker and am very organized. I get frustrated when I'm put in the position of having to do extra to make things run smoother.

I have been applying for other positions, but since I'm an ADN in an area saturated with nursing schools, I've not had much luck. I'm pursuing my BSN, but I won't have for another 2 years.

I'm trying to stay positive, but it's been really difficult. I don't want to quit without getting a new job, but getting a new job is the problem. Any suggestions?

I am a nurse manager and absolutely do not tolerate this kind of behavior on my Unit. I have worked hard on this change in behavior and my unit has now the highest patient and employee satisfaction for over a year! Talk with your manager is my advice.
