I am getting tired of nursing it is wearing me out !

Published

I am sick of nursing today. I am sick of being kicked, spat on, the abusive spouse is a good name for the administrators.

Today a place I had worked for refused to take me back. Maybe I missed a med or cried when I could not work or finish a shift when my house was on fire. I called the risk manager. I am ready to take people to court for their back stabbing lies. Yes, nurses not only eat their young they eat each other.

I wish I were not a nurse.

I lost pay recently, because I wanted the day off for illness. Now, I find that STAFFING CO. HAS ADVERTISED me to other agencies as not finishing a contract.

I am giving up, no one cares in this life, no one helps you, no one wants someone to get ahead. I have no family so bash her, they must say.. I did not do anything wrong to a patient, I always talked to my charge nurse. Maybe I need to lie more. I am so sorry for being a nurse. I am going to lose my home. No one cores. Life is awful for me. Someone puts you on a bad list and leaves you there. There is no place to go. I have to go two hours away from my home to maybe get a job. I have good references. I have run into some awful places to work. All I need is some support there is none I have run across.

My advice to people is to stay out of nursing. They will hurt you.

Thank you for letting me vent, anyone out there treated like this ?

Please let me know.

There Is Such A Shortage Of Nurses Everywhere U Will Find Something Close 2 U. U Might Have To Look Into Other Areas Of Nursing Maybe Things U Haven't Even Thought About. I Wish U The Best.

Tread carefully if you're going to take someone to court, because nurses who get the litigation process started are sometimes committing professional suicide. Once you take an employer to court for a relatively trivial matter, no other employers want anything to do with you. In other words, clear your mind and think things through.

Many other nurses have been raked through the coals and tossed around. However, some people simply turn out to be easier targets for victimization than others, whereas other nurses are never targeted, harassed, or bullied.

Heidisuz,

Please hang in there, girl! We are not all like that. Things WILL get better--I promise! Is there a counsellor or pastor you can talk to? I don't know where you're located, but there has to be somebody around who can help you. DON'T GIVE UP!!! We have ALL hit the wall at some point in our lives. Life isn't always fair...sometimes it sucks! You WILL survive this mess!

im sorry you have had a crappy time as of late~

my advice is hang in there... you became a nurse to help people..

at least i hope thats why you became a nurse... if not.. then quit..

and like the commuter said~~... if you take em to court you better really have your ducks in a row, it can easily lead to professional suicide... sounds like you work for an agency.. why not just go get a full time job @ a facility.. not an agency?.. it might not pay as much as an agency but its stability.. i don't know.. im sure you will figure it out... and i wish you the best of luck.. if you want to be a nurse.. then be a nurse. don't let a few bad ppl discourage you....

:cool:

I am so sorry you feel this way. You are definately not alone. It could be, you are in a toxic work environment. It's not like this EVERY place. I wish you well.

You sound pretty depressed. It sounds like the stress is getting to you. I can relate, I'll bet a lot of us can! Don't give up, seek help! Talk to a clergy member perhaps. Find out about what support is out there for you. Seek spiritual advise, and pray, pray, pray! Maybe see a licensed counselor, and also talk to your doctor! Good luck!

Thank you Sharon, I want to fight back with everything, I do not have the strength. I am alone and have no one. I cried all night. I do not feel needed anymore.
