Thank you for defending yourself! I read in between the lines, understood, respected, and knew what your meaning was. It is ironic that the ones telling you about judging are judging you. But then, that is our world these days: not reading for comprehension and jumping to conclusions in order to admonish instead of listening and attempting to understand.

Why are you doing wet-to-dry dressings in your facility? Those are mostly inappropriate...

I am a Certified Wound Ostomy Nurse and do all kinds of "favors" for my fellow colleagues all the time. There is nothing wrong with this and, hey, what else do you go to work for?

Not a "bias against" someone, but a head's up....there IS a difference, you know...

1. They have a "hard job" because they chose it. This is called personal responsibility. YOU have a "hard" job just like they do. 2. You do not need a "thicker skin" (what the hell is that anyway?!); they need education in how to be decent people and to treat others with decency and respect. 3. Abuse/bullying in the workplace should always be reported; there is NO PLACE for this and the patient ultimately suffers. 4. They do this crap to everyone and please just remember that this behavior is telling of WHO THEY ARE. 5. There is no excuse for this poor, unprofessional, childish behavior in ANY workplace, let alone the HEALTHCARE field.

This person is an emotional and verbal abuser/bully. She does not belong in the nursing profession. She needs to be reported to hospital administration. You can also take video of the childish and unprofessional antics and show it to someone. This is the right thing to do.

Apples and oranges. Your comment was not logical :/

One day you will post something ignorant, ill-conceived, poorly thought through, inflammatory or otherwise reflecting poorly on yourself and you won't want your manager to immediately identify you. Leave some room for doubt! I am not quite sure how you can predict that she will ever do this? We should not call other people's realities and make judgments such as that. Thank you.

Right?! Also, the "dude chill" thing is a big ridiculous. Just be nice and stop admonishing, reminding, and using weird little phrases! We are adults here, not children.

You can sign up with Summit, Healthy Achievers, Total Wellness, etc, to be a wellness examiner for these companies. It is fun, light, and you get to travel around and meet relatively healthy working people who are cheerful and glad to see you! It is also not physically taxing. Pay is not big-time, but you can grow professionally if you want.

Sounds like this patient needs to see a surgeon or go to the nearest outpatient wound care clinic asap. It also sounds like he most likely has some necrotic tissue in those wounds.

Wow. Could you please quote the words or phrase in which you detect "bitterness"? I'm at a loss to discern any such intent Great question, Roser13; I wondered myself how this mere question could be labeled as such...

How are you reading (labeling) that she is "bitter"? She is merely asking a question....

".....YOU'RE an expert....." Thank you.

Thank you! Most ostomy nurses seem to really love helping patients who have had a bowel or bladder diversion :) I know I do!
