Day by Day

Some things irritate the fuck out of me and I try to keep things in check, but the older I get the more difficult that process becomes.

We had one of the step-down units close a few months back and the staff were dispersed throughout the facility. All except the manager of the unit. No, the manager of the unit was GIVEN another management position with the sister hospital.

Let me explain why that chaps my ass!

First, the position she was handed was never posted for system wide applications. Many people had the right to be considered for the job she was handed.

Second, she was woefully under qualified.

Third, she was a horrible manager and should have been booted and not rewarded with a new position when some of the decent managers will be losing their jobs as the facility downsizes.

And why could she not take a staff position? oh but no she could never do that!

Some of these lazy fat women with no real qualifications scheme and angle for non-bedside positions and feel entitled from that point on. That is what really bugs the shit out of me! i have been a director, case manager, taught at the community college level and pretty much had every possible nursing position along the way and in a little over a year I should complete my doctoral program and my ass is working the floors and not sitting in some boring ass office.

In this city unless you are a card carrying member of the uterus club you work the floors while newly minted BSNs are presented with leadership positions - reason number 28 as to why I am moving away and never coming back!

Anywho, I had the displeasure to get a call from that woman a few weeks back and she had the audacity to give moi attitude. What drew her ire was the fact I did know who she was or who another manager was. Frankly, i didn't care! like I said she is pretentious piece of trash and I have no use for her!

Many a day i go to work bite my tongue and try so hard to get trough without making my opinions known. i want to go under the radar and get the fuck out and responding to dumb chicks the way I want will not let me slide by - ugghghhhhh!!!

I am down to 18 weeks to go. Pray I make it!
