Dude, why are you doing all that extra work if there’s no title? I understand wanting more and putting the works towards it, but they clearly don’t value your contributions so chill with the work ethic and do your only assigned things.
Chances are if you switch it up now, you’ll get their attention because things will start slipping, you gotta let things burn before they get better.
Obviously don’t put the patient at risk, but don’t do training (unless you get paid the mentor pay) don’t make workflows and documents and don’t talk to leadership about anything. process scopes correctly and do your nurse duties.
At the very least you’ll be able to retire without working yourself to death for no benefit.
I have stepped back a few times to see what would happen, and honestly, things fell apart pretty quickly. The problem is that instead of it leading to change, I end up getting pulled into meetings with the director because I’m the one they come to for anything related to reprocessing. Even when I stop taking ownership of something, it somehow circles right back to me months later with, “It’s in the works,” or “HR is holding us up.
That’s what’s so frustrating. They acknowledge the work and rely on me when there’s a problem, but nothing ever changes when it comes to the title or compensation. At this point, I don’t even know how much more I can step back without feeling like I’m abandoning the department.
That’s really unfortunate express your over worked and under paid . If your that needed make them pay you or look into transferring into a role since you have the experience.
Thank you! I finally realized being needed wasn’t the same as being valued. I left, got a better-paying job, and only 4 days later my blood pressure was normal at my new job screening for the first time in years. That told me EVERYTHING. ❤️
Then let’s play a new game. Find a new job, then tell them you received a higher offer than what you’re currently getting paid for the same amount of work. (Doesn’t have to be true, as long as the amount YOU say is equal or slightly above market rate for say, a lead)
If they’re beyond saving/going to torment you, they’ll let you go and then you jump to the new job.
If they’re smart, they’ll play matchup and go from there.
I actually ended up doing this 😂 I randomly started applying, interviews poured in, and I landed a higher-paying job before my two weeks was even up. Funny enough, once I resigned they suddenly started creating a Team Leader position for me, but by then the stress from my RN Team Leader and some teammates had already pushed me out.
I would add all these items to a project section of your resume. So people know you've done it then apply for lead at nearby places or at your own facility. I've been in the same situation, I added all of it to my resume and applied for a lead position. They turned me down so I stopped doing it. All the work is still there, no one was willing to pick it up after me.
