I’ve been an RN for 20 years and I’ve experienced many of the same things as the writer. I also read some of the responses and it’s the same ole story. Even in the comments folks are attempting to dismiss her story or put someone’s sexuality in the place of race or just outright insinuate that she was probably lazy. I noticed someone made a comment about her being a NEW nurse which she CLEARLY stated she was NOT! This is a PhD nurse.....you know a doctorate..... Seems to me, as usual folks are SALTY!! I just experienced, just 3 months ago, working a job in which I inquired about an Lactation Consultant position and was told they didn’t have one and weren’t going to. So I took on a staff nurse (M/B) position. I’ve been a consultant for almost 5 years and hold an IBCLC. About 2 weeks later, I find they’d hired a inexperienced, brand spanking new LC (per her own admission) into a NICU...denying the Mother-Baby unit of one. This nurse is also under 25...so definitely not more experienced than my 20 years. I have my BSN and am working on my MSN....so not more educated than I am. So what else could explain why she was in a position denied to me.... other than that good ole boy racism. I dunno.... it’s sickening though. Well...what could I do about it? I quit! Where I work now, we can file a union grievance! Also PLEASE stop comparing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING with my race. Someone’s sexual preference is not a seen thing, it’s their personal business. You can see that someone is black/brown/Asian.... basically non-white....you can’t SEE that someone is gay...(that’s a judgment until that person tells you they are.) I agree....if you see something either say something or better yet, move along. Better to leave than deal with foolishness!
