Back with a fresh Band-Aid on my arm, next to the small bruise from Monday’s TB Skin Test. So anyway, HR gathered the small group of Nurses and tactfully and quickly went over basic policy. I was standing within eyesight of my favorite Nurse and was quite frankly glad she knew where this was coming from. Then the Supervisor was taken aside and by the time I left to have a Tilter done, saw HR, the Supervisor, and The Nurse walking towards an office… So don’t know exactly what transpired but feel glad to have pulled out the stops on what I want to pursue. Tomorrow, I start doing cancer research via computer, patient files, and patient follow-up mailings. Got my smock, badge, and a map; anyone got any breadcrumbs so I can find my way around? Don’t think anyone is going to be more thankful for Thursday than me!

and good luck, Deb! You handled the whole situation beautifully. Based on how they all reacted to your complaint, they probably figured you're someone to be reckoned with regarding policy. Not to mention a volunteer who will be proactive instead of reactive. I bet even Nurse Ratchitt treats you with a little more respect next time you run into her.

Good for you! Glad it has worked out and that you'll be able to go ahead with your volunteer efforts. Have to snicker at the policy review which was indirectly directed at the actions of Ms. Congeniality.

My greatest fear is that there is no PMS and this is my personality.
