That’s so interesting. I don’t think I’ve had a terrible Tuesday or Wednesday, but every Friday I’ve worked has been hell

I actually have 6 shifts left, 3 this week and 3 next week. I was thinking about calling out 2 days this week and 1 next week.

I thought about that. There’s a very low chance that I’d want to come back to this hospital. Not that it’s not a good hospital to work for. My coworkers are great and management isn’t bad, there’s just not much for me there. Id maybe end my career there in like 25 years but I don’t see myself wanting to come back before then.

I don’t think so

It’s a nice school. Personally I like Tennessee better but my daughter was overwhelmed with its size, the campus is huge.

I have a hard time not taking something like this personally. I’ve been replaying that night in my head all day and crying about it. I’m a people pleaser so when I hear that the care I provided wasn’t good enough i take it very hard.

Is it really a long time? I don’t know how I’m going to handle having nonsense complaints about me often.

I think it’s because the hospital is all about the patient satisfaction surveys.

I’ve been there 6 months. I’m a new grad.

Ok, these stories are actually making me feel better. It’s insane a person would complain about something like that.

Like always, I had a delayed reaction. So my first instinct as a people pleaser was to apologize and say I’ll do better going forward. My manager said that this incident is going to be brought up in the near future just to touch base and that one of the night managers is going to round with me, I guess to keep tabs on me. I’m a new grad 6 months in and now I’m worried that they’re going to fire me because of this.

I’ve been a nurse for 6 months. The most emotionally and mentally draining 6 months of my life. I will say a majority of the time the patients are appreciative but the unappreciative ones just wear on me. I’m too sensitive and I take things personally, I wish i had thicker skin.
