Job Embeddedness

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Started this thread to find out how many of you feel that you have accomplished job embeddedness.

In what type of setting do you work?

What is the culture of your organization?

How many years have you worked there?

What is it that makes you so connected to your job?

I'm not going by social norms in this forum. I'm going by discussions I'm interested in and have not seen. I'm not just going to come on here and ask the same type of questions that's in this forum. I can just find another post and read about it if that was the case. Everyone posting here is concerned about this being a school project or something. I don't understand where all the negative responses are coming from just because of a question I asked based on general interest. This is also not my first post.

I did respond.

Eventually, yes you did. I haven't really followed the thread, so I don't really know how much you've shared about your own experience of job embeddedness, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

My issue is with throwing out an issue or question and expecting responders to carry the conversational ball from there. You're resistance to contributing anything of your own thoughts/experience on the subject feels very exploitive. It's also typical of students trying to get their homework done for them, thus the skepticism.

It's not a discussion without give-and-take by all parties involved, and that includes you, OP.

Honestly?

It SOUNDED like a homework assignment. Why? I mean, I needed to look up the term on the internet.

I was originally an English major and I was like...what the heck???

Now, let me speak from experience.

When I started posting on this board, I was BlueHenRN. I changed my username to CamaroNurse. That day, I started a discussion about my coworker not doing an Accucheck on a direct admit and it turned out the patient was in HHNK. I guess I worded it in a poor manner. That plus me being "new" (remember...new username) well...I was torn up one side and down the other. Now I am DLHW and I *think* I'm somewhat respected. ;)

Keep posting, honeyBeBe! Just remember that trolls come along all of the time, and students looking for homework help are a dime a dozen.

Because the question you posed sounds just like one. In fact, it's a homework assignment question for one of my coworkers who does an online program. Makes me wonder

Just as a suggestion on how to succeed in life...paying attention to social norms is a good thing to do...helps you get along with others. Doesn't mean you have to be a lemming, but paying attention to group dynamics is a very wise thing to do.

Okay I see where you are coming from and will take note of that.

Thanks for the advice. I felt attacked and I was only trying to have a different discussion than ones I have seen on here.

Why does it matter if I'M the one that gets along with everyone. I came on here as a new member making my posts. Asking for advice in one post, trying to have meaningful conversations in this one, commenting on others posts and giving my opinions. So far everyone except a few has come on this post attacking me. I came to the general nursing discussion board and posted a general nursing topic for discussion.

When you post to get answers for an obvious online discussion group assignment we should get college credit too.

In what type of setting do you work?

Long Term Care

What is the culture of your organization?

Happy employees = happy residents

How many years have you worked there?

This facility, 3 months, prior facility 5+ years (hospitals for 12 years prior to that)

What is it that makes you so connected to your job?

My residents, coworkers, and good managers who treat everyone fairly

That's my answers, and I'm sticking to them. Also, OP, snarking back to persons who question your authenticity as far as student status is not a good way to communicate on here. You say you don't care, etc. But it will limit others communications with you in the future, regardless of student status or otherwise. Too many of us have seen the homework questions asked, then the person asking getting huffy when questioned back as far as thought process. As far as "keep wondering", no can do, as I really don't care that much. But in the future, if you expect respect, please give it to start with. Have a most gracious day

I would like to think I was very respectful before people started attacking me and calling me a student.
