Thinking of leaving nursing altogether
No, I don't brown nose and go with the flow. I try to treat everyone right and like I would like to be treated (perhaps better). I always seem to stand out like a sore thumb. So, I don't think nursing is for me. I really am tired of coffee being through at me and having my boss or coworker deliberately sabotage my work. Don't people have more stuff to do? Thank you I really appreciate your thoughts and insights and they do seem accurate. God bless

Thinking of leaving nursing altogether
Thank you I will keep the faith like Abraham and Sarah because this is exactly what this is. I have done your, working in the insurance companies, doctors offices, case management and only on a couple of exceptions have I not been harassed. I have to group my jobs on my resume and I have now been only working 6 months out the year for the past 3 years so, I am not that sharp anymore. I really don't want to do this anymore only to be harassed again so someone can get their goat off. Trust me I have other things to do other than working that I do, do. I just don't think nursing is for me and this is not some 5 years. This is going on now for 14 years. I can't do this anymore. I have no immune system to even do a bedside nursing job or go and teach clinical. I have been reinventing myself and I am so tired of it. I am happy for you and I will pray for you too that no one ever as a nurse has to go through what I am going through. God bless

Thinking of leaving nursing altogether
I know and my husband started hanging out with me and its like a cloud over me where ever I go. Even at the doctor's office. He said it himself and trust me I have done some soul searching I just thought some one else would have a better answer than me continuously going back out there and being harrashed. Its like Jesus on the Cross. It just won't end.

Thinking of leaving nursing altogether
Dear Nurse Beth, I have been a nurse for 35 years. I started off as an LPN then went back to school and got my BSN and in 2017 got my MSN. I have been harassed since 2006 and my resume has so many different positions. No one wants to hire me. The last position I was in a PA through coffee at me , prior to that a co-worker was water logging my lunch bags. When I confronted these people they either denied doing it or thanked me for telling me about it. I told the PA guy that through the coffee at me that I told my husband, because I knew he was married and I wanted him to know my husband was probably going to go for him. The job I was at gave him some time off. But, its horror story after horror story. Like when they will not tell me the correct code to the bathroom. Or they lojack in on your phone and bring up your private conversations that you have at home at work. I have complained and no one does anything all they do is say they don't find any fault with the company. So, when I go looking for another job guess what that last company that I complained about they shared all my past with my present company and I have to relive that again. Most of my school loans money is all done so, I really don't know what else to do for another career. I would love a work at home job where I am not harassed. But, I am honest I would love to be able to be around other people just not be harassed. Its like George Floyd the police picked on him because he was driving a nice truck and dressed nice. I dress nice and everywhere I go to work I get picked on. When I answer back then they gang up on me. When I don't say anything it gets worse so I end up leaving. I thought about writing a book. Maybe that would work. I really don't have a clue right now. My husband says just call it quits try to collect disability. But, I am not disabled nor am I able to find a job without the harassment.. Any suggestions.

The Enemy... The Nurse Manager
Have a raffle and let your biggest complainer be you for the day. Then have another raffle and let your next biggest complainer be you for the day. Sometimes I want to say grow up!!! When they are you and sitting in your seat they get to feel the heat. I don't envy your job and I hope you are making over 100,000 a year or very close to it. Good luck and God bless.
