Okay no it wasn't professional. But one minute she was all in my face smiling, and the next she was talking about me behind my back. It was just unlucky for her that the person, that she told came and told me what she said. And no matter where I work and what profession I am in, I won't ever change. I don't like being told what to do, and I don't like being belittled. So I don't care how many jobs I have to lose, because I know when I go everyone there will know to give me the respect that I deserve, or do something, which she didn't want to do. She is just the type of person that I am always taking about. One minute you want to act big and bad behind my back, but when I question you, then you have nothing to say or want to be smart. And I guess she thought I was one of her children that she can handle. I know I am going to hear a lot about the statement that I am about to make, but it is just the way I feel. I will fight all people 1-99, male or female, big or small, no matter was kind of status or authority they may think that they have. I think this came about when I was younger, because I am only 5'2, and I have always been short, so I guess people think that they can pick with me and nothing will happen. And in her mind, me being as small as I am and her being about 5'11 going on 250lbs, I guess I wasn't much of a threat but I think I straightened that out today.

And I know I shouldn't be doing these things when I am pregnant but I can't help it. It is just apart of who I am. But I happen to be proud of my self, because the other day when I was on the i-10 some b*tch came up the onramp and cut me off, so I followed her off of the interstate and into a residential neighborhood, I was trying to wait until she sopped so I could tell her about herself. But anyway she saw me and started speeding up and after about 2 minutes I stopped chasing her and went on my way, because I knew that if I had gotten out of the car, we would have had an altercation and I would have been going to jail. So I mean at least I am trying. But the nurse caught me on a bad day, and if the adon wouldn't have come with two other people, to hold me back I would have sent her stupid ass to the hospital. But I realize ,well no I didn't take it too far because it was her fault, but I have to stop doing things like this until after little jonathan is born at the least.

Gosh I am shocked reading that. Unless your the manager of the place you work at then you wil always have someone telling you what to do-that's how a job works-there'll always be people above you-managers,supervisors etc so you need to accept that in jobs there are authority figures who will be telling you what to do & assigning you jobs. You sound like a very angry person to me-maybe you need to deal with these issues-you can't go getting all hyped up because it can't be good for baby......Following someone in their car is pretty serious to me-what if that person was bigger, stronger & more agressive then you-dont you think what could end up happening to you or your baby???????
Oh and another thing....All women health forum about each other behind each others backs...Any woman that says she hasn't done that is either (a) a liar or (b) not human!

Well, when I finish school, I plan on opening a clinic, so I will be the owner and operator, so I will have no one telling me what to do. But my thing is I have no problem with someone telling me what to do at work if it is concerning my job. But that is just it no one has to tell me anything because I know what my job is and I do it, no more, and no less. But my nurse just likes to be messy. And yes I have talked about people behind their backs and I know most people do, but the thing about me is whatever I say behind your back I will tell you to your face whether you ask me or not, no if ands or buts about it, because I am not and refuse to be considered a messy person. Some people say I am really confrentational, and some say I am just plain mean, but I see it as just being real. And people don't intimdate me. That is why I am the type of person that can chase someone I don't know down in my car. Other people may think well what if this or what if that, but I really don't care, b/c there are alot of what if's. Yeah something may happen and chances are with me something will. But a bigger or stronger person doesn't bother me. Number one because I am heavy handed and I always have been, I carry most of my stregnth in my arms anyway. That is why when I reached up and punched the nurse in her face, she fell to the ground, thus enabling me to kick her while she was down. Hehe. Just because a person is big doesn't me that they are strong. And even so, unless the can predict the way that I move and are quick, any lick they get in won't do damage. I guess that is a good thing about being short, I often go un noticed moving around.And truth be told if I weren't pregnant right now, I would most likely be getting bonded out by my mom from central lockup. I guess I may be an angry person that is what a lot of people say, but I don't think so. I do however have a problem controlling my anger when it comes about. In general I am a nice sweet person, who tends to tell people about themselves, but I never try to be mean.

You dont realize no matter what, even if you open up your own clinic, you will always have somebody above you. And what if you have a patient that decides to go off on you because of something, are you gonna beat them up too? Have fun keeping your nursing liscense with them ideas in your head.

Life is not fair-especially not jobs! You are going to need to learn that, one day you are going to get it for disordily conduct...Im not even kidding. You should take some anger management classes...No one likes to get disrespected...But you should not have kicked her. I like you and all, please don't take this the wrong way, but what are you doing to do, when you have a baby to support and you keep losing jobs and your name gets around that you try to kick peoples asses...No one is going to hire you anywhere, maybe mcdonalds...And you aren't going to make that much for you or your baby there.

I understand how you feel newlife (sorry, don't know your name).. I have anger issues too and I hate being told what to do.. The only difference is that you place that aggression on the one who caused it.. I misplace it on people I know who won't hurt me back (yeah, i'm a wuss basically,, I could never hold my own in a fight.. Hence why in public I don't pick them) and yeah.. I've already done something I regret because of my misplaced aggresion so I don't need a lecture but it's hard.. I either have to hurt someone or hurt myself when i'm angry but when I hurt myself I still end up hurting others.. It's a no win and I have to place that anger somewhere.. It literally drives me insane and I have no choice but to put it somewhere.. Either that or pop pills to make me "high" so i'm not angry anymore. I did that once though but I really felt I had no other option. Anyway, I understand how you feel newlife, the only difference is I am a complete pushover in public and I hold my anger back but that's more out of fear than self control... I never go off in my job though (but trust me, the urge has been there!) but that's because I really want a better job and I want good references. Everyone at work tells me they could never picture me angry.. I can't help but laugh in the back of my head.

You may wanna reconsider being a nurse! You are always gonna have someone telling you what to do no matter if you think so or not. I know you are planning on getting into nursing school, and since i'm already there I can say this....If you plan on getting through school treating people like that, it will never happen! You are gonna have to learn to work with people and take instruction. Part of nursing is being a member of the healthcare team! And also....You arent ever "in charge" of someones healthcare...They are in charge. Patients can tell you what to do! So...You need to get used to being told do! That kind of behavior is just unacceptable, and if you did get yourself fired then you are going to have to explain that everytime you go to get a job! Everything you do affects you later on down the road!

very well said!
Also i've always liked this saying "no matter what there's always somebody bigger, stronger & better then you & one day if you cross their path you won't be acting so tough anymore"

Another thing is, that, if the woman you punched presses charges, you may not be getting your nursing liscense. You might make it through school (which I doubt with that attitude), but when it comes time to getting your liscense you may not get them. You do know that it goes beyond good grades in school right? Like work expirience as a cna and testing after you graduate to get your liscense, and they look at your record and such. I really agree with lauren about how you may want to reconsider being a nurse. What are you planning on going to school for, to be able to open up your own clinic?

Destiny, I have to say that this doesnt sound like you at all. It was extremely immature and irrational of you to do that. What if she had hit you back in your stomach? Or what if that person you were following had a gun and started shooting at you??? Curse them to yourself and be done with it girl. I know exactly how you feel, I am in the situation I am because I do things out of spite, because people tell me what to do and I show them that I dont have to. But I can't do that now. I have to think about the long-term effects of everything. You do too. Especially now, you are carrying that baby inside you, it is your job to keep him from harm, not put him in the middle of it.

And also, about your clinic, someone will still be telling you what to do. The health deparment and the state still tell you what to do and how to do it. Thats the way it is. Just take pride in the fact that you know they are not as intelligent as you, and be done. Nobody has to know but you. I hope things look up for you.
