Congratulations on your job!!!! That is so amazing!!!! I can share what I have done for self-care.... One of the customers in my job was making me very uncomfortable with the comments being made. At first I felt really embarrassed, like I was the only person with a problem like this, but when I talked to my supervisor, I realized that it wasn't just me, and that other employees had similar problems, and that it is something that supervisors have dealt with before. So, if I'm worried about something happening, I talk to a supervisor and ask what happens if there is someone I don't feel comfortable with...and how to manage that. In my situation, another manager stayed present the entire time, while I dealt with the customer. When the customer asked for us to discuss it privately, my manager interceded and said that the whole purpose was to support me, and it wasn't appropriate to suggest discussing things in private.... It really helped knowing my managers were there to support me, not to judge me....
Don't know what their hospital policy is, but I imagine they probably have policies set in place, as doctor's usually arn't supposed to treat their own family, so my guess would be they probably have some way to work things out..... Hope your administration or human resources is able to support you, so if the situation does occur, you feel assured... and if it doesn't ever happen (fingers crossed)... All the better! No matter what you're prepared! For me, just having a game plan for self-care, helps decrease my anxiety...
And once again! Truly, that's so awesome you got your dream job! How are you going to celebrate yourself? Hope you do something special for yourself! Congratulations!
