After working in LTC for three years, being verbally assaulted by HR, sexually harassed by residents, a permanent spine injury, and being bullied out of my old job by coworkers i thought i was close with, i finally have enough and my last shift is this thursday to become a pharmacy technician! as much as i miss my residents and thought of some of them as family, as well as some of my coworkers, my body physically cannot handle it anymore and i must step away before it becomes to late for me. for others questioning if they want to leave this field, there are so many other jobs out there in healthcare that treat you with the respect you deserve :)

So i needed off today due to a prior engagement and was asking around for coverage and was able to get someone to cover for my shift and we both told the scheduler thinking that we would be good. Come to find out she declined my coverage due to the coworker being in overtime (this is a start of a new pay period so it shouldn’t have any affect on it). I just got off the phone with the RN supervisor to call off and she started yelling at me on the phone that I should’ve told her prior that I wouldn’t be there today and that I am practically abandoning my job duties even after telling her what happened. I feel like i’m losing my mind the more I work at this place. just needed to rant a little bit to feel better, but am I wrong for thinking that this is crazy?

Hello! My yorkie is a little over 2 years old and recently started to develop allergies to the point where she is rubbing her face raw around her eyes and it’s blistering. Have any of your yorkies developed allergies like this and what have you done to alleviate them because it hurts her face a lot and she’s scared of people touching her face now. She already got allergy shots from the vet, but they don’t touch her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)
