So, i was at work a few months back when one of my co-workers started this tirade, in the middle of our hallway. She goes into this long bitter outburst about the younger staff members.
Most of us love this job, but for various personal reasons and personal growth, many of us have decided to go back to school.
You would think that she would praise us for our efforts, motivating us to advance in our nursing career, but no. Instead, she starts talking about loyalty, implying that we should have a sense of duty to this place because senior nurses have worked hard to train us. I understand her prospective, but that shouldn't hinder my motives for advancing my career. If you are satisfied with your current job, then let it be. There's nothing wrong with being a staff nurse, but if you are unhappy with your current position, you have the right to pursue other areas without having to be harangued at work by co-workers.
How about some support? encouragement?
What i wanted to say was:" why don't you mind your own business you old hog, bitterness leads to nothing"
Anyhow, i quit after that. Her tirade only motivated me, and has forced me to put in even more hours into studying.
MPB - LIKE MY FAVORITE COLOR PURPLE, LIFE COMES IN MANY HUES AND SHADES. AS SUCH, DIFFERENT THOUGHTS, ISSUES AND EVENTS COME UP IN MY CONVOLUTED MIND AND THIS WILL BE AN ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE AND EXPRESS SOME OF THOSE MOMENTS OR THOUGHTS.
