The RN I worked with had been a nurse for over 15 years. He was always called an orderly, or a janitor, maybe because he is male? I look young for 30 and was always called a candy striper or the housekeeper. I used to get offended until the RN mentioned earlier inspired me to have tollerance for our patients. He said: "As long as you know how important what you do and who you are is, it will show in the work you do...". As a side note...the back of the johny gown is sometimes the thing that most represents exactly what the patient is to the rest of the world. In your head, next time say to yourself, I might look like a waitress but at least my bum isn't sticken' out!

hang in there, when you least expect it a door will open, dont give up.:welcome: :welcome:
