I try so hard to do my job and then when it is time to give report I get told what I did wrong or get looks from nurses I give report to if I have to pass something off to them. Whether it be I didnt give a suppository to someone leaving for a ultrasound then when pt is back and working with PT during our report - sorry, I don't think it is cool to do that to someone and possibly have them sitting in poop or start to poop when PT is working with them. Or a PT who was suppose to get a TEE at 11..oh no...1...oh no they changed the time again to right now....but wait they decided to do it at 1 again- and the doc put an order to pull out the foley in the mean time and I didn't do it because I really want to watch the person and make sure they pee and not have any pain while peeing - oh but that is not good enough...I should have pulled it because the "pt still will be in the hospital" and "i have never had a pt have pain while peeing after a foley" - well I Have! Or how bout this one " Do I have any meds due soon on my shift? " - how am I suppose to know!!!! Or oops i forgot the person was on a standing dose of insulin and ooops i said no instead of yes when you asked. OR the residents not replying or putting in an order when I ask them to .....I am about to explode!!!!!!!!:madface:

I hate seeing people picked on, especially new nurses. It takes time to learn to be observant, learn the lay of the land, and what is expected of you. Like others, I say to stand up and advocate for yourself...let them know that you are really trying hard, will continue to try and improve, but that you will not be disrespected.
