HippyHappyRN

Thanks ??

You got that right! I was in a broken place then and ready to crumble at what anyone said but not anymore. Thanks for being awesome! Happy nursing to all nurses but especially to those of us that fell down, got dragged, and came out better on the other side ❤️

I listened without even seeing your words. I took a much needed break from the keyboard warriors and it made me realize to stick to advice from my mama when I need a reaming rather than the internet ? There were a few comments on here that I will truly take to heart and yours is one of them. Thank you ? but dang I’m so glad I took that break. To any other fresh grads that come across this post one day and find yourself in a similar situation (which I hope you never do) please know that regardless of what ANYONE says, you will find a new start and a “better fit.” You’re a nurse. We got this ❤️ I ended up finding a position with the hospital that was further away but they have a smaller hospital that is about the same distance as I was driving before. I created a great rapport with my manager immediately, my work family is amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better learning environment to be in during these times. I’m so happy now that things turned out the way they did, it was just meant to be. Best wishes to you all!

And yes before anyone says anything, I am doing some introspective reaching on how I’m taking the words of others and that their intent was not malicious.

I never expected to go through more emotional turmoil asking for advice from my more seasoned peers. I apologize for how anyone took anything I said. I really just want to put this behind me now.

I wish you could’ve been a fly on the all for me then. I don’t know what else to say but that I wasn’t unprofessional with my attitude ?

My family gave me the advice to do so, I come from a long line of medical professionals. They felt it was in my best interest considering the circumstances I was being terminated instead of reprimanded or placed in another unit.

It’s the same people over and over. I did not create a negative rapport with anyone. I did not speak to a professional co-worker/higher-up in a negative, condescending, or obnoxious manner. I was professional and polite in all aspects with the exception on what is written on this post. I have no idea why the lady cut up my badge, I was not rude when they fired me, I simply asked if I was allowed to record the termination or if I could have a witness present and they told me I could have someone on the phone but not record and asked if I was deemed ineligible for rehire. I explained to her how deeply sorry I was for what I had done, how embarrassed I was, and that I hoped I could take the experience as a learning tool to be the best I could. Now. Again. I am NOT required to speak to STRANGERS on the internet in any sort of manner. I feel as if I have been pretty nice compared to how defensive the real world is. Not many people like to sit back and take false accusations from anyone. It’s just getting to the point of ridiculous. I asked for advice. This is beyond the point of advice. When does it stop?

I hate that it’s perceived that way but that wasn’t the intention. I can say most certainly that I only had initial interactions with this manager so I don’t know that it’s fair for anyone to ascertain that it was based off the way I have responded towards strangers on the internet vs. how I would respond to someone on a real personal level in my real life. Nobody that has responded is required to just as much as I’m not required to show thanks or respond at all myself. I feel as if I’ve taken quite a bit and it continues to be given. I value that people took their time to help but at this point, I’ve gotten a fair amount of valuable advice and a fair amount of keyboard warriors acting like they’re allowed to talk to me as if they know me personally. That’s all there is to it.

I’ve become far less naive than I was before thanks to a lot of opinions, facts, advice, and common sense that everyone has shared with me. While I appreciate everyone taking their time to let me know what they think, I stand firm in the fact that only time will tell what happen. I’ve given a glimpse into a very personal situation and I’ve gotten some responses that have fed more into the situation than what happened and a lot of responses that truly helped me to get a better grasp of what’s real. I’ll update when something happens. I hope and pray this thread will help someone else who finds themselves in a similar situation. And yes the badge cut up - overkill. I think they wanted me to react? Not sure. I didn’t figure that was protocol but that was my first time being fired so I have nothing to back it up with.

That’s your presumptive opinion, only time will tell though ?

Screenshot what? You liked TriciaJ comment right above mine where she says the sentence that I quipped. I’m not sure what the focus is here.

I honestly am not sure why it says from me but that was a sentence that I got from TriciaJ post above mine, I only took a quip of it and responded to it. If you read her entire response, she says that sentence in her remarks.

I don’t know what you’re referring to, I’ve haven’t responded to or quoted myself, only others.

I agree, I do not believe there is anything more to learn from this topic.
