saga continues

My continuing saga.....

I am still very happy in my relationship, and mostly unhappy in my job.  Oh, I like the job.  But I dislike the politics, silly rules, disregard for employees, etc.  I'm good at what I do.  Yeh, I could maybe be a little bit better, but that would come with time.  The problem with this job is they give you no incentive to stay.  That's right.  Most of the "perks" I am used to having in other jobs are just not available here, and that includes support from management.  I work every other weekend, which I haven't had to do ever since I left my first nursing job, um, 20 years ago?  I work every holiday.  I would have liked to have been recognized during nurse's week last month.  NOT!  Not even a mention of anything for the many nurses that keep the hospital going.  No incentives, no perks, just many, many demands that end in the statement "just be glad you have a job".  Morale is extremely poor all over the hospital, and we have already lost many, many nurses since I have worked there, perhaps into the 100's.  Well, it's a BIG hospital. 

What to do?  Well, I have lost 15 lbs which seems to tell me the stress is not just mentally harsh, but effecting me physically.  But, they are right......I am glad I have a job.  Being stuck between a rock and a hard place is an uncomfortable place to be.
