Nursing and I are in a love-hate relationship. Management and finding the right job has driven me to want to leave the field. I rather sell flowers. The lazy, problem nurses seem untouchable. I come to work, do my job, I am the problem. Go figure.

Funny how that works, isn't it? Being reliable and competent gets you nowhere if you're not in good with management. If you become a florist, please hire me to join you. I would love to leave the hospital and spend my days arranging bouquets.

I hear you. It’s frustrating when you come in, do your job well, and somehow feel like you’re the problem while others get a pass. A lot of good nurses feel that way. The fact that you still care says a lot about the kind of person and nurse you are.

Sometimes it’s not the profession it’s the environment. Have you always worked in the same setting, or have you tried different areas? I’d love to hear more about your experience.

I understand how you are feeling. This job can be very exhausting and we don't get paid nearly enough. The people who do the least amount of work always seem to be rewarded.

Hi Everyone!

Hope you'll are doing great! I was little occupied on the personal front hence couldn't keep up with the postings here.

I see in spite of 1-year anniversary of the bowl, the numbers didn't increase much. I know there are many other forums (like whatsapp groups) with similar userbase/members which maybe inhibiting sign-ups and activities. But one key differentiator is that Fishbowl groups are anonymous.

Request all the members help us expand the group. <More in Comments>

Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for?
