I come in here and do what I'm asked without hesitation, I am always a team player. I don't complain about things, I am always respectful and professional to my co-workers and our patients. Everything that I wanted to do this year have been placed on hold because of this. I didn't plan on being a Front Office Assistant forever. Whenever something happens in this office you can ask my manager I am always trying to think of the bigger picture and find ways to improve things here. The accusations that were brought against me are totally not my character. Take some time to ask the people I work with on the daily.
From the stages of the case, we learn that it is important that the employer takes a quick response in case of harassment within the organization. The Hotel was very quick to assure Gregg and the other woman that their complaints have been received and everything is being put into place to ensure that it do not happen again. What most of the victims of harassment need most is to be assured that they will be protected even after making a complaint. Gregg and the other woman who faced multiple cases of harassment, after being assured that they will be protected from the perpetrator went on to conduct their usual business within the organization with no problems at
Today must've been the busiest day I've ever experienced at this office. There were so many patients. They all waited at least 3 hours just to be seen by the doctor. The good thing is the office closed at noon so everyone usually was able to make it their shift at work. I got a lot of experience assisting in extractions. I worked with the same doctor I usually work with. She's very nice to me and always requests me when I come in to assist. I interacted with the hygienist, dental assistants (which were just pre-dental volunteers), and the front desk assistant. Everyone had such a good spirit today. There is a dentist that often acts as a dental assistant, which makes things easier because she teaches us about how to prep for procedures and
According to Blackstock, Harlos, and Hardy (2015) “Workplace bullying refers to repeated behaviors by organizational members that are offensive, often escalating in intensity with a perceived intent to harm” (p.1107). When nursing at any professional level you take an oath of doing no harm and agreeing to act accordingly to the facilities mission statement. According to the code of Ethics for Registered Nurses(2008), under the section Promoting Justice, this idea is clearly outlined in the statement “Nurses refrain from judging, labelling, demeaning, stigmatizing and humiliating behaviors toward persons receiving care, other health-care professionals and each other”(p.17). Another point reinforcing this is written under the heading of Being Accountable states “Nurses are honest and practice with integrity in all of their professional interactions”(p. 18). It is important that all nurses take their professional accountability seriously and follow the Code of Ethics. The nursing staff who witness the actions of the bully and do not report this are also failing in their own accountability towards peers and patients. Staff have a professional obligation to maintain a safe work environment for themselves, their co-workers and especially their patients. Reporting a co-worker or nurse can be stressful and overwhelming, increasing vulnerability to the bully’s further attention and becoming a target of their behavior. Research has determined that bullying impairs the victims’ physical and psychological well-being (Katrinli, Atabay, Gunay, & Cangarli 2010). The damage caused by bullying goes further than skin deep for it can have pervasive and ongoing impacts on staff relationships and patient trust in the safety of the medical system to ensure high quality compassionate
However, there was more to the story than just my performance, I was dealing with some bullying issues that should not have occurred. After discussing this with Dr. Deal, Director of the BSN Program in Tyler, I was given a Letter of Good Standing. I did not want to return to the Palestine campus even if it was possible, which I declined to discuss at the time. I take full responsibility when things are in my hands to control, but not everything in MS clinicals was dealt with as it should have been. Beginning with being put with a charge nurse in MS1, I was told that should have never happened, but that I should have told them I wasn't receiving the training that I needed.
... made the story go in my favor when I should have called earlier to tell them that I would arrive late because of what happened. Instead, I waited for them to call me on my way up. All of the effort I had put into the past three months at work are now diminished by my one ignorant action of not calling and lying when I arrived. I could have simplified the situation by just calling in when I knew I would be late and come clean up front, instead, I blew the whole situation out of proportion and tried to make myself seem like a victim. I have lost the trust of my peers and superiors that were involved.
...e irate I told him that this wasn’t fair and that I had been waiting a long time. What I didn’t expect next with a blatant racial attack – he called me demeaning name and said that people like me were meant to wait. Needless to say that I was infuriated and responded by saying that this was inexcusable and that I would complain to his supervisor, to which he gave me a little push, suggesting that I should go right ahead. At that point I had had just about enough and so got into a physical fight with him. Thankfully the security personnel who then asked me what the matter separated us. I explained to them in no uncertain terms what had transpired and the management responded by firing him right there and then. I felt elated and yet saddened that there are people who still think like that even today. What will happen next in my life, I can’t say. Only time will tell.
The trauma related to negative behavior can afflict the healthcare environment on many levels, from creating a hostile work environment in which job performance is affected, by increasing job turnover and causing nurses to leave the profession altogether. The Joint Commission states that in the United States 65.6 million workers have experienced or witnessed bullying, psychological harassment affects 38 percent of healthcare workers, and 44 percent of nurses are impacted by this behavior (The Joint Commission, 2016). Inclusively, this behavior can influence the way nurses care for their patients, staffing levels, and the healthcare organization’s
I had applied for a job at Catholic Guardian society; in 2001 I did get the job. It was working with young girls in a group home, place there by the court. A group home is a place that children are sent to, once in foster care. A child can be in a group homes for many reasons; such as running away from home, not going to school and getting being arrested. I work every shift that was allowed, sometime doing doubles. When I started the job, I learn my way around fast. My partner was Michelle S.; she was great she began working there three years before me. Our primary job was to ensure the safety of these girls; their age would range from twelve through twenty-one. Our supervisor was great or so I thought. I soon realized that she was a horrible
I have 10 years of experience completing Quality Assurance reviews and customer service for Embassy Management LLC. In this role, I maintained positive working relationships with personnel across the Embassy Company while conducting Quality Assurance reviews for various programs, which included Residential Supported Living/Community Protection, Licensed homes, Employment programs, and Employee files.

My co-workers considered me an
Count to ten- one, two, three, four. The cool room smells of chemicals from the sanitation products used on everything. Thirteen people all cooped up with masks, gloves, and scrubs. As they are preparing for their job mine has already been done. I back away and let the surgeon take over as I watch the patient's vital signs like a hawk. For a moment, there is complete silence as everyone prepares to begin the long, grueling surgery. I feel especially tense given I’m just a baby when you compare me to the veteran doctors that surround me. I have studied and worked hard my entire life to be able to do this. Tick.Tock. The hours go by. The tension in the air grows thicker with every passing second, as the surgery becomes more riskier. The career
When I married Winslow, I was still working at Kenworth’s Seattle plant. Rising to my seniority and my salary increasing, I moved to the new Renton plant that opened in 1993. The warehouse is 270,000 square feet. It is bright yellow, and red on the inside. Inside the plant 200 other works and I panted an average of a dozen cabs a day. I was a truck painter, and I was especially good at it. This job requires a steady hand, high attention to detail, and the ability to transfer the intricacies of a blueprint onto a piece of fiberglass. I’d have to mirror each side of the truck with a complex painting. It took a lot of patience. My partner Martha Parkhill would spray paint the truck while I prepared the masking tape inside the cab. One job could
I get up with a sore back from our lumpy beds and tears are already running down my face. I already know whats in store for today, a whole bunch of pain and work. I am a plantation worker so I have to be outside in the hot sun and pick cotton for hours, but i’m not going to complain, I am trying to see my wife and daughter and I can’t if my owner says no. So I rush out of bed but I can barely move because our owners have shoved about a dozen of us into one small raggedy hut. I walk outside and see someone getting whip over and over again but I restrain myself from helping him and from shedding a tear because if i do i’ll be next. I walk over to where the food is being served and what we are eating is what looks to be unwanted fruits and cornmeal
My first job was babysitting. I remember the first time I babysisted. It was a Saturday at 5 o'clock in the morning. My phone was ringing really loudly. I quickly got up and picked up my phone. It was my mom she said,” Rachell, Is it ok if my friend from work can drop off her daughter at home so you can take care of her?” I agreed and said,” Yeah sure why not !” I was super proud of myself my first paid job! I got out of my bed and got ready. I couldn’t wait to see the girl and have fun with her I thought nothing could go wrong.After I got ready I was waiting for my mom’s friend to knock at the door. It was about 6 o'clock and than I hear a knock. I told myself, “Stay calm Rachell you got this.” I start walking towards the door and then
One of the goals that I have set for myself this semester is maintaining my GPA that I
I woke up one day and the top part of my left arm was purple and the bottom part of it had red blotches all over it. I was already seeing a specialist for my arm. So I had called the doctor and he said he wanted to see me that day. When I went in he said “I wasn’t getting any circulation to the bottom part of my arm and my hand and that I needed surgery right away or I was going to lose my arm.” I went in on a Tuesday he had me in for surgery that Friday. The same day I went to the doctor to be released back to work. I had received a letter telling me that I was fired. I called the human resource department and the gentleman I spoke with told me that he didn’t know why I got fired, and that he hadn’t had a chance to go over everything. The following week I called back up and got the same response from him. This happened in September of 2013 and I had just recently found out why I was fired. I was told that I was fired because I had taken a bit out of something before I paid for it. They had me on camera paying for it, but just because I had taken a bit out of it first, they let me
