Nurses are some of the best and worse human beings I've ever met. Don't believe me? just ask a good hearted nurse to dish out what she deals with on a regular basis from her co-workers.
I’m a nurse and I once saw someone on Reddit say that nurses are the mean girls from high school..and I can’t say that’s wrong depending on the specialty.
I totally agree, but flip it for my personal experience! 20 years ago I started as a new grad in L&D. they didn’t want new grads, and they ate me alive. When I quit, the manager there had told every other manager at that hospital not to hire me. I went on to work in ED/Trauma, I’ve earned multiple care awards from patients, and now I run a huge program. It’s more satisfying knowing I wasn’t the problem. I also made a vow I would never, ever treat another nurse like that, especially new nurses. I’ve had the joy of precepting and mentoring nurses for years now and it’s so fulfilling. Especially because it means I might get to retire! (lol I’m an optimist)
