[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was prepared to come in and laugh a bit at OP being so sensitive but uh, wow. I also thought there’d be atleast baseline agreement that it shouldn’t have happened. How do so many people think it’s perfectly fine to make fun of people - let alone their own patients - amongst coworkers behind their back? I teach my kids if you don’t have something nice to say don’t say it at all, and apparently some of y’all need to revisit that fairly universal concept. No, trash talking people isn’t a form of “therapy” and not wanting to be the subject of trash-talk isn’t “the height of privilege”. LOL what world do some of you live in where that’s acceptable?? Now we atleast know who is parenting the school bullies! [/quote]

I didn't even watch the TikTok but I'm the PP special ed teacher. I guess maybe you're just fortunate and haven't had a job where people treat you really poorly? But as a teacher I often felt disrespected by parents and I imagine nurses deal with a lot of unpleasant patients/families as well. My DH doesn't want to hear a bunch of complaints when he gets home so complaining with people who can commiserate and know what you're talking about (coworkers) is typically the best option.
 If you are disrespected at work on a regular basis and don't feel the need to vent to anyone then I guess you're just a superior person  :roll: [/quote]

No no no this is not in any way ok. If someone disrespects you, you take it up with them, your boss, or your god. You don’t “let off steam” by making it a habit of just trashing people behind their back. And by the way, if that many people are “disrespecting you” on a regular basis, you just may be the problem. You sound like you’re 12 and I HOPE TO GOD you are not raising any kids that my children have to be around. Grow the ef up and actually deal with your problems. [/quote]

Sounds like you're one of those superior people! Congrats  :lol: 
There you go nurses: don't dare vent to your coworkers, just take it up with your patients and/or their families, clearly that will work well. Or your boss... or pray about it. [/quote]

Right?? Sure, ok, I'm going to say to the patient's mom who screams at me for being 4 minutes late with their child's pain medication "I feel like you are being disrespectful and we need to chat about that."  No, I'm going to apologize, give the child the pain medication as quickly as possible because I don't want him to be in pain and I couldn't help being 4 minutes late because my other patient's oxygen was dipping but I can't share that with this other patient's family.  And then I'm going to go into the break room and say that the C-word mom in room 312 is back at it today, and everyone else is going to roll their eyes and know exactly what I mean.[/quote]
