I have been in nursing education for years. There is no correlation between grades and compassion. I have had A students that are absolutely wonderful at the bedside. I have had A students that were too analytical at the bedside to give care appropriately. I have a had the same situation with B and C students. The didactic grade is how well you test....How well you apply what you know.... Clinical is actually doing it. Not just talking the talk but walking the walk... It's hard to have it all no matter your grade.

You may want to reserve judgment on being a team player. I'm sure you have had instances where others may have thought the same of you.

I know what you mean... I recognize the story. I am way overqualified for the position I am in, but believed the hype I was sold in the interview. It actually sounds like we work for the same company. Keep your chin up. You have to do what's best for you. We would all love to work from home in our jammies, but reality can be rough. I pray you get your dream job.... I know you rock as a nurse... Your compassion is evident.... You think before you react... That is a blessing...I got my dream the other day.... Now I just have to tell the work place from hell I am leaving. I hope I have the strength you did
