Try to trust in the work that you do. Let it speak for you. Also, don’t care so much about what people say about you. Be honest, be open, be kind, but most importantly, be yourself.

Trusting your work: yes. That’s a very liberating realization.

Hugs. I feel like I'm have thin skin sometimes too. It doesn't feel good to hear I'm not doing well. Even if it's constructive criticism

fuck em. either feedback is constructive or it's not. evaluate and move on.

Go door to door on the weekends. It’ll thicken your skin real quick. I did it for awhile and honestly laugh inside when clients get upset and yell sometimes.

Lmao no need. Just out preform them because at the end of the day everyone knows who pulls the most weight an no matter how annoying and toxic that person it won't matter because everyone else will be behind you.

Distinguish yourself from your ego. Will solve a lot of things for you!

Umm... Have horrible things happen to you, get counseling and learn to manage?

Get staffed on a client project :)

Didn’t read all the responses but one way I see things is understanding what I really value and derive my self worth from. If criticism aligns with that, then it might cut a little deeper. If not, eh.

I work in sf and Nyc and have now saved enough where I’m wondering if it makes sense to buy rather than rent an apartment as an investment. Tricky part is I’m still quite young and this wouldn’t be my lifelong/family home. Have also considered buying in less metropolitan areas and renting them out for passive income. Curious if anyone’s gone through this process before and have thoughts ?

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore?

On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.
