Respect

03Aug08

Please Please Please.

Don’t assume I am uneducated. I may not have any little initials behind my name, but if you took 2 seconds to get to know me you would see that I know what I am talking about.

I have 4 years of traditional education. Including most classes nursing students take, and I don’t take the “fundamentals” classes, I take the one the nursing students at my school complain are too hard.

I also have 5 years experience in this business, wherein I was expected to know far more than you would think, I was always pushed to learn more, to present cases, to know new things. I have also taken EVERY CME class that you have taken, and excelled.

Take a cue from the doctors. If they trust me with things why cant you? I am fully capable of doing everything in my job spectrum and quite a few things out of it. If I am unable to preform a task, or unsure about it, I will not hesitate to ask for help.

So please, just take a few steps back and give me a chance, and maybe a little respect.
