Chrissy - I just read your post to Fliss about what Dr. wants

to do with regard to having a tp/ict. Does he want you to have it

right away? Seems they'd want to wait a bit longer for you to

recover a bit from the last op. But, I've heard much praise for Dr.

in the various posts so I would go with it I guess. Anyway,

keep us posted ok? The other thing really struck a nerve w/me

(reminds me alot of where I work/worked??) is the way your

supervisor handled that whole thing. My God, right in front of

staff, families, patients?? That was very unprofessional of her to

say the least!! I can totally see how reporting her/not reporting

her puts you in quite a quandary but (and only my 2 cents!) I would

probably bring the matter up with the next level of management above

her. From what I've read...you worked long and hard to get that

nursing degree and worked long and hard at your job as well. That

should count for something in my humble opinion. I've been at my

job for 17+ years and I know that from certain people I would

receive exactly the same sort of treatment that you got. Just as an

example of how some of the people where I work are what I would

call " two faced: the secretary in my division lives directly in

back of me - literally " over the fence " and have I gotten a " how

have you been feeling " when I see her outside? NO!!! Nothing!! It

just blows me away when people don't have any empathy for anyone

particularly people they work with EVERY DAY!!! I guess I was

brought up differently than those type of people...I mean, even if I

couldn't stand the person...just as a matter of common courtesy

(esp. when that person lives DIRECTLY in back of me!!) I would

inquire as to how they were feeling, can I be of help in some way?

Sorry for rambling....but I can totally relate to this one!! Don't

lose out on a well established career by getting (or not getting as

the case may be) a negative report from this person...you worked too

hard for that Chrissy!! I would go over her head if it was

me....like I said, just my 2 cents!! Keep us posted...
