I let my supervisor know I was drowning after three call-ins left us understaffed for a week straight. Instead of getting help, she's watching MY time management like a hawk. I guess I should've just suffered in silence. 🤷 How are we supposed to ask for help without making ourselves look incompetent?

This, unfortunately, seems to be the norm in a lot of places. Retaliation for asking for help or notifying of problems in the system. Update your resume and start looking because the place you are working does not respect you or your work ethic.

I’m in the same boat. I pointed out the dying software system & the chaos, lack of training… but they just protect themselves, don’t care, won’t admit they’re falling apart, saying it must be you….
I googled it online & WOW, former IT saying exactly what I was seeing because they were outsourced. Company had bought the cheapest entry level in another software system which didn’t work, didn’t invest in customization, then returned to their haunted house defunct on life support previous system with the vendor IT in India. New people weren’t familiar with the old system. The people that knew had been let go. Now it’s a nightmare for new nurses trying to learn & use the system. Like knowing which floorboard to avoid because you’ll fall through & crash.

I would look into your States Board of Nursing rules on Staffing issues. Is your hospital been reported for unsafe staffing. What recourse does your Board say you have? Are you unionized? This could be a basis for a strike. I'd also look into what your State laws say. Have others in your state also worked towards better protection for Nurses and Patient Safety? Good luck. One voice could start an avalanche.

I’ve learned management does not care. They may act like it but in the end nothing changes.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
