Supervisor nit picks again

Nurses Relations

Published

I'm only writing because I have gone over this time and time again. I'm an LPN and feel like I need to throw the towel in only because one of the supervisor has it in for me and how much can a person take? How much? I have gone over this persons head and still this happens again and again. I am tired. I am a good nurse yet continue get the raw end and feel like maybe I need to throw in the towel and just give up. When is it okay for a supervisor to just nit pick and at the end of it all have a nurse want to throw in the towel, give up. I have no energy left to deal with this. My supervisor is actually breaking my spirit of being a nurse. Is it okay for this to happen? I say no but after awhile, it happens and I feel so abused. I am harrassed for sure yet no one will help me. I need my job, like my job but hate her. I try so hard yet nothing works. I can't please her or do anything right. Maybe I should just fall off the earth, I am so tired of trying to be a great nurse. My spirit is broken, my yearning to be there is broken, my being a good nurse is starting to break, I feel alone broken and lost. I am trying so darn hard to do what is right, yet it never is enough. My heart is lost, broken spirit and don't know how much I can take if any. I cry alot at work, I just want to do my job and have her off my ass and this is not easy, I work hard, I do my job, yet she likes to just nit pick. I would go elsewhere but I just started this job recently and need to stay put. My heart is hurt, I feel spent in all areas including being a nurse. I often think I would be better off never to be a nurse but its not me, its her, yet I cannot get around this. I need help, I just don't know what to do. I want to smile again, I want to feel good again.

I was pretty much neutral reading your first & second posts until I read your #3 post when you started name-calling (like my kid sister did when she was 5 y/o and wrote "amo is a big fat pig" on our basement wall).

We only have your side of the story in which you are just lamenting your emotions, but what has prompted your supervisor to take such a position? Have you other satisfactory evaluations? Have you been disciplined by your dept head or with HR present? Any incident reports? Or is this just a personality conflict? There must be more to the story.

I have been on the receiving end of a vindictive supervisor, so I know the situation and feelings all too well. Any minor issue will be blown up to catastrophic proportions. If you feel you've a target on your back, you're most prob right and not much will erase that target. Time to decide that it might be best to move on.
