~ This is Working Life... ~
5:56:00 pm
Was sitting in the tearoom with 3 of my senior staffs just now after work... As usual, they would have little conversations with each other with me being the 'listener'...
And since they were talking about leaves (as in the leave you take while working, and not the leaf... *hehe*) and preceptees, one of the senior nurses turned and asked me jokingly if I was being bullied by the other nurses since my preceptor is on Annual Leave (AL)... Apparently, my preceptor is back in Philippines for a short (or rather, quite long) trip back... And so, the other senior nurse whom I worked with today was in a rather denial stage and asked me again whether I was being bullied...
My only comment?
This is working life... Although in my heart, I really wanted to say, "
Yes I'm being bullied!"...
There are colleagues who would help you out when you need help... But there are also some who would expect you to finish things that are ordered during your shift although they can follow up from there... And sometimes, when it's their mistake, they are actually capable in turning the tables round and point their fingers at you instead... Yes, I do have such people that I'm working with... And I have become a scapegoat before... Especially since now, we're currently left to 'survive' on our own...
Yes, working life is tough... But that's the nature of some people...
I will always remember the words of my preceptor...
Nursing is a continuous process... You can't expect to finish things that are beyond your shift...*Sigh*... I'm missing my preceptor now... Ana, please come back soon!!
