I'm having a really hard time with feeling depressed and worthless lately. I feel like I generally annoy everyone around me and I really wish it wasn't a mandatory thing that I go outside and interact with people. Every day starts to get a little harder lately.
My workplace has begun to actively discriminate against ADNs in any position. We're not allowed to change work levels unless we get our BSNs, we're no longer allowed to precept, and I have a feeling my employer will start offering lower raises to ADNs. Yes, I'm going to school for my BSN, but most likely, I won't finish until the end of Fall Semester, next year. My workplace IS being flexible about my school schedule, so there is THAT. I just wish I wasn't so over my job. I've precepted 10 really good nurses and had every one of them do well on our floor or on the floor they eventually went to. But now I'm too stupid to do that.
ADN doesn't equal stupid. It means the person with the degree either could not afford University level schooling, or that the nurse got into that college (and off a waiting list) sooner. Since the majority of the nurses on our floor ARE ADNS, I'm not the only one feeling like shit about this.
I'm off to work my least favorite night, Monday, for a coworker who had to take a mandatory class this morning. My mandatory class is Wednesday. It's a mandatory preceptor class. Remember when I said ADNs aren't allowed to precept? We still have to take the mandatory class.
I want to cry, but I've already put on mascara, so on to work I go.
