Now That I'm Gone

[RNator]

I left my ER of 3 plus years for another adventure. I won't dredge up a bunch of dirt, and I had other reasons for moving on other than some of the "issues." SITUATION: there is a very troubling issue IMO going on in my former ER. While working there I had a few moments of "I really need to discuss this with my manager" moments, but then didn't. The reason I didn't, I guess I didn't want to be branded as "that guy." It also makes it difficult when I am a man and the issue is regarding treatment of male patients. Who wants to stick their neck out in a small place, and when I am a minority employee? Anyway, at this point, do I let Administration know, in an informal manner, without mentioning names, that there are some behaviors to monitor in that place?

This is awkward to type, and every time I tried to verbalize it it never came out...so what now?

If youre considering ever going back there for work in the future for any reason I'd say no, just leave with grace.

If this is something that you're turning your back on for good, then go for it and blow the whistle. The reason I say this is because if administration is in fact already aware of it, they won't take kindly to you trying to shed light on their shoddiness and may very well try to keep you away for good so you don't help start a revolution so to speak.

But if you're not coming back either way then set fire to the rain haha
