I am a nurse of 36 years. I have been employed at the same hospital for 14+ years. I hold many certifications and qualifications. My nursing quality by everyones admission is beyond reproach as is my knowledge and patient care. However over the past few years I have been "counseled" a number of times for having difficulty getting along with my coworkers. The long and the short of this is that I am accused of not having a positive attitude, of using negative body language and not treating all staff with dignity and respect. Now all this is fine except that I am absolutely denied the opportunity to be given any facts, times specific comments nor to be told who is making the accusations. I am just simply told that I must come up with a plan to 1. Refrain from making inappropriate remarks...even though I am not told what the remarks are. 2) Work with team in a positive manner 3) Demonstrate receptiveness to others 4)Treat all staff with dignity and respect and professionalism 5) Assume responsibility for my behaviors and actions.
I have tried to be positive and cheerful and helpful. I go to work with a positive attitude every day as I love my work. I just can not make any sense out of these vague requests and especially when I am not told what the behaviors are or who is making the accusations? What do I do?
What are the legal elements or Harassment?
Is this harassment?
