If you are burned out being a nurse, consider teaching.  My local community college cannot train all the new students who want to be nurses because there aren't enough qualified nurses willing to teach.  We need you in the classroom!

It's an epidemic. I had a nurse in the doctor's office I'd never seen before call me 'dear'. The lady at the homeless shelter I went to yesterday (to donate) called me sweetheart. The cashier at the bank calls me darlin' and our waitress at IHOP calls me angel. And I'm just not that nice! I told the nurse my name was Mrs. N---- and when I got to know her a little better, she could call me 'Sue' - and was she ever offended! The rest of them I've just given up on!

Whoa, whoa.....\n\nThe first thing to do is calm down.  Take a deep breath and relax.  \n\nNow, most people in nursing professions are members of a Union.  If that is the case, you must speak with your local union representative immediately.  State your case and ask for assistance.  You should receive help from the resources your union has.  \n\nIf you are not a member of a union, take the following steps:\n\nContact your local labor commission.  Find out if a resignation must be tendered in writing.  Most states require a written resignation when notice is given as it protects the employer.  Without a written statement, it is extremely difficult for an employer to prove intent if there is a disagreement.  You may want to contact your HR Representative to make certain he/she is aware of the entire situation.  \nOnce you have done your research, take appropriate steps to retain your job.  \n\nI must warn you though;  You are skating on thin ice.  As a supervisor, your actions are observed by your subordinates.  It is never appropriate for someone in a leadership position to lose her temper.  Subordinates can lose respect very easily and you have provided them with plenty of reason.  Although you are under duress, you can not threaten to quit your job without consequence.  Disciplinary action may be taken, such as a warning letter placed in your file, etc... \n\nI am a Human Resource Manager and if this particular situation came across my desk I would ensure you understood that this action is extremely inappropriate.  I suggest you consider employment counseling in the area of stress management.  Perhaps you should consider learning new strategies in dealing with high-stress situations.  \n\nGood luck to you.

Toni, I think I used to work with her sister; I knew someone just like that. She sounds like a piece of work, and unfortunately there's someone like that at every job, at every church, in every group. But, you didn't take that job for her, and don't lose that job over her. It sounds like you have a lax group of managers that they don't respond to your complaints, but trust and believe they will step in and level their authority once you take matters into your own hands. Don't stoop to her level, but elevate her to yours. Be strong, be patient, and eventually a positive change will take place to remove her as a headache in your life. There will be a promotion, transfer, something, to get her off your back. Actually, you sound pretty funny, maybe one day we can talk and you can come join myself and a sharp female doctor in our business and you won't have to worry about coworkers or bosses. With your sense of humor and your medical background, I think you could do quite well. Good luck to you, and I don't want to see a posting from you asking if anybody knows a good lawyer to represent you for assault (lol) It will get better.

I'm in nursing and I've heard nurses say things they definately shouldn't say, and then I've seen some be very descreet. I live in a small town so I make it my business to be in nobody's business, but if at any time you feel your confidentiality has been violated you can phone the hospital administrator or talk to a lawyer.

Yeah, you should make a complaint to her manager.  Thats the reason why patients wear wristbands.

u have a very legitimate complaint. the government made specific laws called hippa to protect patients from this. the hospital should have an employee that specifically handles this complaint. you should ask for someone in administration who this is. there may be a gov. website also, look up hippa on google or something to see. you should know that the person responsible will probably be fired if u choose to pursue. u can also talk to an attorny as u could be compensated if u can prove damages

I'm only 13 but i go to school with a couple of people who i hate as much as they hate me. they make-fun of people(teachers) and blame it all on me. the so called "nurses" that work with you are probably just jealous of the people they make fun of and you. I advise you to just smile and ignore them. if they make a rude and or inappropriate comment about anyone just walk away. but if this comment is about you say " at least i don't get my fun making-fun of the people who i am jealous about." and by the way i can tell that you are a very smart person by not joining them and keeping your personality alive.

I'd try to research your numbers online hun..... \n\nTry www.webmd.com (I believe that's run by the Mayo Clinic) or www.emedicine.com\n\nThere are several nurses who answer questions now and again, I hope they find yours.  Good Luck and I hope it all works out for you!

One of the things I’ve made sure at my doctor’s office is to have a number to call for a reasonable response time.  There is a nurse on duty who responds to such calls and has the ability to contact the doctor (or anyone else) in a very direct manner.  In other words there is a way to get around the telephone answering system if there is a real need.\n\nIn general however, more and more companies have such systems and it seems to be increasingly difficult to contact a real person and then a real person who can actually address your problem.  \n\nAs has been suggested written letters to the head of the organization you are having problems with is a good solution.  Really do keep them positive.  Try to understand their problems and calmly express your challenges to communicate with them.  You can even ask how this can be done differently so that such problems are minimized in the future.  You may be pleasantly surprised with the response..
