   This is my thought exactly. Take aim at the people who genuinely want to keep systemic racism prevalent. Take aim at the people who want to continue to wave their white privilege in your face and keep you down. Take aim at the people who still believ...

   I’m not sure if it is “normal”, but it is the job I was hired to do, and one which, according to my DON, I am doing exceptionally well at. As far as my co-workers go, I am not the direct supervisor for any other nurse, all nurses report directly to t...

   I hate that this is even an issue. I don’t see color, I don’t judge people by the tone of their skin. I draw my conclusions from their level of integrity, their work ethic and the way they treat others. Unfortunately, this is the time in which we liv...

   I am very quickly developing the same attitude toward the people I work with. I don’t need them to like me, I just need them to do their job. I fed my concerns up the chain of command. We now have a meeting set with the DON and the administrator; Hop...

   I’ve started a documentation journal of everything. It may not change the situation, but it might give me an out when it comes to my contract...hopefully.

   I wish I could, but I paid a good portion of my student loans off with it. Sigh.

   I attempted to confront, or rather, discuss the current climate with the night nurse, it did not go well. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully this is just growing pains, and maybe it will all work out.

    Thanks for the advice, Daisy. I will have to add the “strip naked and drag myself over glass” to my repertoire ?.

    Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I’m praying that with enough time and effort, we can at least come to a civil understanding and learn to work with each other rather than be at odds.
