I don’t quite believe this, but since I quit my last position and started my new one within the same hospital system, I’ve been offered 2 positions: OR and Radiology.
OR is interesting because they work with so many active ingredients, they monitor patients constantly, they get to interpret ECG and electrolyte imbalances. You can learn and work with cool stuff.
Most of the coworkers there are mature: they do their job, they explain the rationale, they teach me stuff. I like it.
There are 2 childish gossips incapable of shutting their mouths to talk about the most inane stuff thinkable. I like using downtime to learn, not to talk about boring stuff. These kind of people have always wasted my time and energy.
This is what I wanted to tell the charge: I see a future with you, only if these 2 people do not take part in my orientation (3 to 6 months) and if during downtime they do not pester me with inane stuff, but let me learn. I do not talk about my private life at work, I’m on the introverted side and when people force me to talk to them it drains me. I’ve worked at units where managers promised a genuine and serious orientation, but the staff were more focused on gossip than on teaching me. I don’t need that. I want to be around people who take orientation as seriously as I do.
Radiology would be similar I guess.
reasons to say yes: you do you, you tell them what they need to provide so you can excel at your job.
reasons to say no: I become the asshole, as I’d be breaking the peace.
they’re not my supervisors, they MIGHT be, though.
I don’t know how it’s going to go. What I don’t want is to work with those 2. Peace of mind is more important than advancing a career.
You call me weird for not wanting to work with people who drain me… well, all power to you.
Are you angry at me because I actually get to choose the people I work with? My actual gig is very light on the drama side. If somebody pesters me I get to leave that place.
good luck with that. You clearly don’t work healthcare. Are you a manager btw?
actually I do, everybody does, you can quit, you can work part time, you can start looking for a job that better fits you and then either 2 week notice it or quit on the spot. You mean you’ve never met people who quit not the job itself but a manager, a charge or certain coworkers? I don’t know if YOU cannot choose the people you work with or you’re convinced you cannot do that, but everyone has a choice: in my case, either advance my career now accepting I have to deal with those 2 moronic gossips or either keep my current job and look for the next opportunity. A third option would be to fake give them the attention so desperately need for a minute and then go back to learning and ignore them. And a fourth one, do nothing, stay where I am without thinking about advancing my career. I’m sure you can choose as well, it’s only you’re convinced you cannot. Maybe you think it’s easier for you to stay where you are or you think changing might be too much of a hassle. Doing nothing and claiming you don’t get to choose who you work with like you do is also a choice.
Now you sound like a granddad or a mother who didn’t have it too good fully convinced everyone must have it as bad as you. Ironically, this happens way too often in nursing: you remind me of how old nurses act with the new grads.
Are you calling me entitled for wanting a quiet life? knock yourself out, but, are you implying you don’t want that? why?
You’re being conformist. If everyone thought like you nobody would have changed jobs ever.
You sound angry. Are you angry?
I have a history degree and I live in MAGA America. Damn right I’m angry.
But this isn’t about me, it has everything to do with your ridiculously entitled attitude, and your hilarious defense of it.
a strange, convoluted way of admitting you’re angry and I’m the reason why :D
This is gen z in a nutshell. Telling management how they will be managed.
I’m all for tearing down walls and rebuilding institutions, but wait your turn. Wait until you understand something of it. It’s unlikely a business can run only on the people you like.
And what a sad world that would be if we all divided up into our little cliques for the rest of our lives. No adversity. Nothing we don’t like to cause trouble for us. How boring.
Sure, take the best option for you. That’s the business world. But leave your demands in your head.
ok boomer
Hahaha
You sound confused. You should show this chat to your boss, ask their opinion.
why does my post trigger you so much? calm down.
Just FYI, you’re the one who sounds angry.
Also, as someone who works in healthcare…. The other guy is right
then you really have no idea what you’re talking about.
oh, you’re an moderator. thanks for not deleting this thread because it bothers you I guess.
what do you do in healthcare?
My dude, we’ve butted heads multiple times. Thatsbnote even really relevant to your fundamental misconception of what work should looks like.
Your post history is full of blaming others.
If everyone else is always the problem, sometimes you need to look at the common denominator
I’m glad that putting up with not-so-smart people works for you, and I’m glad that you can give attention to people who are so in need of it. I’ll pass.
you still didn’t write what you do in healthcare though.
