It did upset me because if i was rotated out, absolutely no one would let me do there care on any other assignment and would have to trade off all of those residents for the residents that were on the one assignment I could do, which became annoying. I approached that charge nurse, as well as the DON of the facility and I got no where. I have been in the healthcare field since I was 14 years old (being prehospital ambulatory care) and love doing the field, but I do feel bad that I am a male and can barely do anything in a facility because of the sex that I am.
So, I feel your pain dude. Just deal with it the best you can because there is no other field than that of the healthcare field.
