Also, I think having to kiss ass at a job isn't right. Maybe it's just nurses because that's all I've worked with.. but the high their position.. the bitchier they get.. and the more people seem to not mind their bitchiness. This simply isn't right and I should be treated with the same respect I give to people below me and above me. It's all the same.
My supervisor can say 'shit' to me but I can't say 'shit' to her? That is bullshit.

So it's unfair that others are not forced to provide resources they produced to support your survival regardless of whether you contribute?
You shouldn't have to kiss-ass at a job, but as long as you are being paid by someone, they make the rules. Follow them or get a new job.
Likewise, if I am paying someone and they curse at me they are gone, but I am not above a good ass chewing if they screw up in a bad way (costing me money)....learn from it and move on. If your boss is so incompetent she is cussing at you undeservedly, then outperform her and get promoted past her. The view will be different when you are looking down.
Granted, though, you *should* be around consumate professionals who both give and receive criticism equally well and tactfully, but we all work around real people and they are flawed.
When I needed a job, I took the first job I could find while I continued to look for better employment. Why not employ that model? Do what you can to the best of your ability while you continue your job search for the ideal job? If you wait around hoping to get the perfect job straight away you will likely go broke waiting, your skill set will become dated, and you will lose the benefits and lessons learned through interim employment.
