You know,I came to this sight to express myself. I am new to all of this. I found it very calming to share my feelings. You see,I had the worst day yesterday in all my years of being a nurse.I actually quit my job. This is not someyhing I took lightly.It became a matter of pride. All of those that made those remarks related to being treated like waitresses and such,I totally agree. I feel this way alot,and sometimes its too much to take.My don of course is an rn.This lady dont know her ass from a whole in the ground. She has actually tried to put blame on me for things,that I always have shown was not factual. But you see,in our profession anyone of these people can say it is so and so it is.....I feel like there is not one person to stand with a nurse on any issues that arrise.I have had dons that do and they care about the people and the staff. This one is such a sad person it makes it hard to work. I wish over and over I had my rn,thinking I would be greater respected.After thinking long and hard I decided,I will keep on pushing and being happy with who and what I am until I can actually go foward.To tell you the truth,the lady makes me feel like I am a nobody.I get along with everyone and the residents very well,I am a hard and focused worker.I have made errors,but none of any harm. Oh well,thank you all for your responses,I would love to hear from anyone again,this is a blast!

don't ever let somebody make you feel worthless. are you a nurse? i am sorry you are having such a hard time. you should be treated with respect no matter what your job is. i wish i could give you a hug .. you will find a better job where you are valued.

When I was a little girl, I couldn't wait to grow up so I could be treated with respect.
I grew up and still got disrespected by some people.
I thought when I had my RN people would treat me with more respect.
I am an RN and still get disrespected by some people.
But now I have learned to accept and respect myself.
And when others disrespect me, it doesn't bother me, because I know it isn't about me; it's about them.
And if the disrespect is getting over the line of tolerance, I stand up to them, confront them as respectfully as I know how, and they generally back off.
Some people, though, will keep on pushing because they want a fight.
Respect yourself enough not to engage in that fight.

keep on keepin' on
i know exactly where you're coming from.
some folks used to disrespect me
chide and
ride-on my pride
almost disconnect me.
one day i snapped back
after my psych nursing course
no one dared
crossed my tracks.
i still keep a tough skin
only a select few
know how tough it's been.
i welcome you
to the crew
who always knew
our day and dreams
would soon come true.
bless you.
showbizrn.
from the heart.
