This weekend I had a patient who was young. 29. And the family got attached to me. Well this week they corner me when I came back to work. Twice. They didn’t like the nurse they had currently for no rational reason. The nurse who was taking care of him that night (who’s new) took offence.
I wasn’t trying to horn in on her job. I wasn’t trying to make her look bad. I was just trying to be nice to the family yet trying to get out of a situation I didn’t want to be in.
And everyone’s making me out to be the bad guy at work. I talked to my manager. She understands my side of the story. I talked to the new nurse the next night after I slept on it to find the right words. She understands now. Yet everyone else is still talking about me behind my back. So anything I say or do it a target.
I hate it. Go back to ignoring me. I liked that better.
Luckily I’m off for a few days.
