Poor Judgement
Not mine, in my opinion, but someone else. Not only, did this person have poor judgement, but they acted on their poor judgement on my patient! I was so angry I couldn't speak to them for a awhile. Then did so, in a pleasant fashion I believe, the person apologized, but I don't think they listened. I also talked to the manager about this, who is going to do more...WTF people? How hard is it to think about what you're doing???
Weep. Very soon I think I will be unpopular there-not that I think I am necessarily popular now-but it will become more so given my increasingly vocal opposition to what I see as poor work. Like, how do you deal with it when you seeing things that you feel are wrong, yet the general consensus is who cares, and shut up? I can tell you that already I feel like I am developing a target on my back, but to not do anything is worse as then I feel that I am ethically bankrupt. Nice choice a)moral distress or b)hated by colleagues
Other than that...did a shift at Inn From the Cold. It is a shelter during the winter for homeless people. It is a night shift-I just sleep there as a back up. It went well. Do another one Thursday.
We rented out the upper floor to a couple who seem nice. Hope we are judging correctly. Now have to rent out bottom, as tenant is moving at end of month. Which I think is good thing as her name ends in an "i", and her voice is unnaturally high and Richard and I think she is phoni, note the i.

You should stick to your guns Lisa, in the end, it is like water against the rock, eventually it wears away. I see you as the water and the people you work with as the rock, and maybe they should be looking for a new ward to hang out on.
You need a weekend with your sisters.
Sob, I do need a weekend with my sisters!
Judith is right! Plus, there are for sure people who agree with you who aren't speaking up -- very often this happens. You have people on your side, but the WRONG ones are vocal. Others will start to if you set good example. I think. And hope.
My feeling (as I told Lisa) is that those people are bullies and once faced down they'll do what all bullies do - slink off
