   Furball: OK, now you've told us WHY you are so angry and took things out of context and was so offended; but being agnostic is YOUR choice, don't be angry with a Christian, or a non-Christian, or an atheist or anyone else about YOUR PERSONAL CHOICE....

2. Bullies in the workplace

   Nurse Nanna replied to Milehighnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I strongly agree that IT IS NOT "A Woman Thang" - I too worked in a male dominated environment for 17 years and they can be the worst manipulators, backstabbers and downright bullies ever known. They go home and take it out on the wife and kids. And...

   After re-reading my post, I will offer my apologies to any of you whose toes I may have stepped on. Maybe I went a little over-board on making a point. I LOVE nursing and I LOVE JESUS (both of which are Personal choices) and depend on him heavily t...

   caroladybelle, furball, and dawngloves: First of all, let me say that I'm sure you all "feel" you have a good reason for being so "angry." I appreciate and respect your feelings, comments and feedback. It gives me some insight into the full "pictur...

   Donny: mattsmom81 is absolutely right. You gotta be careful with the Jesus approach. In my earlier posts, you will read that I did mention Jesus and praying for' miss ink pen' and she reported me for pushing religion in her face; I stood up to the ...

   Nurse Nanna replied to Milehighnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Donny Bullies are on all levels. I have experienced bullying from people below rank, at rank, and above rank. Sometimes, because they have been "around" longer, they think they have seniority or "rank" over a new coworker even if she/he has had mor...

   LauraLou You are absolutely right. There should be a "no tolerance" approach to bullying and harrassment of 'any kind' such as there is for the 'sexual harrassment', which is another whole problem of its own. Bullying does make and 8, 12, or 16 hou...

   Donny: Our oldest son is still in Calif - Yuba County area; we talk via messenger everyday and two of our other children just vacationed out there and returned home last week and this week. They both said, yea, I remember the difference between Va. h...

   Donny You are from Fresno, CA? That's cool. My birth state is Calif. I was born and raised there and moved to the east coast about 8 years ago. Lived in Sutter/Yuba/Solano Counties. Small world. Good for you for standing up to that person. Some...

    To LauraLou and askater11 I am not currently working anywhere - I am taking some home courses, adding to my credits in hopes of obtaining a position in which "I will have the authority" to be able to stop some of this bullying crap. I'm not sure exa...

    Layna I have been "all the way up the COC to Human Resources". After I had gone up the chain of command (COC), my nurse manager gave me a "mediocre evaluation" and I was shocked!! to say the least. However, the evaluation was not done in a sit down...

    Nurse Nanna replied to Milehighnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I did report to 4 managers with no action from any of them-excuses and/or advise to "ignore it", then to the director of nursing whose answer was ALWAYS "rise above it, you're better than to let it get to you" with no action, and then to the admini...

    Nurse Nanna replied to Milehighnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am soooo sorry there are so many bullies out there and that there are some who even have the audacity to "bully an instructor." Sounds like the one I had to deal with. She was constantly nit-picking and gossiping about the LPN and RN instructors ...

    Stamina? Ladybug, it ain't easy, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Take a deep breath, talk to Him and then go for it. My background helps. I was the oldest of 7 children, was in a very abusive relationship and after a serious injury, was ...

    Nurse Nanna replied to Milehighnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I understand exactly what you're all talking about. I am a very non-confrontational person, until I have HAD IT!! I worked at the same facility for over 2 years. We had a "bully" who had been there 20 years (off and on) and knew everyone in the hos...
