wanting to hear from those that have left nursing....because I have. Things like , reason you left, how long since the change, and do you think about returning to nursing.

I am an RN. I need support. Would someone support me ?

How old are you ? What type of nursing do you do ? Are you a supervisor ?

How old are you ? Are you a supervisor ?

what part of the country are you from ? What kind of nursing ? How old are you ?

I know how you feel. I have been terminated from one job. It wasn't an absolute termination because they offered me to work on another unit where there were less responsibilities. My dilemma was a bit different, but I know exactly how you feel. JUST ...

There are two RN's that act like they are "irritated" with me because they think I am 'stupid' and can't do my job right. They are in medicine nursing and think themselves superior because they work in 'acute' care. What kind of issue is this? I rev...

thanks Jolie, I am writing up the documentation right now. I forget certain dates, and of course, I guess it is not considered "harassment" if it is not based on race , gender, or sex etc. However, but how about demeaning comments and actions ? I...

thank you 9 lives. You understood my situation. It seems I am in for the long haul, because I do not have a second job right now. I think they might be jealous that I am probably the only one in the building with a BScN. the comments are not agains...

I am a bad nurse. What do I do ? I guess the answer is obvious....leave nursing. I guess I am in denial or I'm a coward because I can't leave nursing.

I think that a big problem was I did not know how to defend myself, so the bullying escalated. I guess they thought that they could walk all over me. Also, the unit was difficult for me, and I think the other nurses thought I constantly asked for ...

thanks for reading my note, and thanks for the support. Getting a response is some form of support. I wanted to write details of my situation, in hopes of getting support in the right area, ----not to look for pity.

Any ideas on what to do about nurses that have the attitude "it's my way, or no way at all" .

it is a serious post, I am not feeling sorry for myself. I don't really have any support. so ...sorry ...that I am over emotional. I have been nursing 'off and on' for 6 years. I never stayed long enough at any one area because of bullies causing me...

My management is not very professional went it comes to dealing with horizontal violence or bullying. I feel that this manager may not be worth working for. Management has taken the approach of "blaming the victim", which is , I guess, the fasted ...

I give up. I wish there was something else I could besides nursing.

thank you so much for your response. It's made me feel better about the whole problem.

Thanks for stating that bullying is a result of poor management. I have already confronted the bully, but she just walked away from me. The management won't take my complaints seriously because this bully is praised by management as being a "super nu...

comment to all remarks. The bullies are the control freaks that management thinks are doing a great job. Because of the bully's so-called 'good patient care' nothing can be said to that person to stop bullying. The bully in particular choosed who she...
