They don't accept me

Some nurses at work. I worked with them yesterday. It makes for a long day when people don't speak to you and they act like they just plain don't like you. I have thought over and over about this. The only reason would be because I told people I am sick and cannot work 16 hours shifts like they can.

they think I am lying and that dont' believe me and have no amount of compassion or caring.

yesterday here is an example. We have sheet printed up each week with the change of condition of patients. And I did not have a copy. I aaked one of those nurses if she had one co I could get a copy. She told me she had never heard of such a sheet and did not have one. Well, they have worked there long enough to know. Well she walked away from the desk and I looked at her clipboard and I found the sheet right there. She just wanted me to not be informed and to not chart correctly or check my patients correctly. How rude.

Well, Just saying having an invisible disease that robs you of almost everything and have people talking about you, it hurts.

hugs,
debra
