I've been in nursing for 7-8 years. But over and over I keep running into these ******** who call themselves managers but manage to make me feel like dumping a career that I love. I just want to know if other people share my feelings? During these years I have been confronted repeatedly by managers who represent patients or their families and ask me to confirm accusations that are outright lies. Total misinterpretations, lies, and shocking stories that I could not have dreamed up if I had tried for days. For the last year I have tried travel nursing as a way to work and avoid these managers by not staying in one place too long. But they are everywhere. Always eager to represent the patient or family with whatever accusation while talking to me like I am dirt and no matter what I say it couldn't be true especially if the patient or family or now I am even finding that I have fellow nurses representing the institution I travel too who are willing to say things that could not be furthur from the truth. Is anyone having this problem? Mostly I work medsurg. The stress is tremendous. The families are always or if they choose they are present and on top of both management is so eager to make customer satisfaction a priority that the nurse is dirt under everyones feet. I love nursing but this is so overwhelming. Am I alone?
