One of my "favorites" used to say "god-damned new grads" every chance she could.<BR/><BR/>I'm a firm believer that if you are a miserable YOUNG person, you will be a miserable OLD person. Along those same lines, chances are those miserable OLD nurses were also miserable YOUNG nurses.<BR/><BR/>In my 27 years of nursing, I have NEVER belittled a colleague. If their practice was questionable (putting a patient at risk), I would find a way to privately (quietly) speak with them about it. As a unit preceptor, that was part of my responsibility.<BR/><BR/>I have always gone out of my way to make sure fellow nurses (and nursing students) would feel comfortable asking me questions or asking me for help. I remember feeling like SHIT as a nursing student & new grad because of the way some nurses treated me during those times, and I have made a conscious effort to NOT do the same to anyone else. <BR/><BR/>It's so sad to see others trying to diminish who YOU are so that they can feel better about themselves. There is too much stress in life as it is, to get more of it piled on by some miserable asshole!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there & continue to be the best nurse you can be! Believe me, there are more of us cheering you on than hoping you'll fail!Michele in Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339081238563379051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4363800465522177101.post-40226539879281350632009-03-01T08:28:00.000-05:002009-03-01T08:28:00.000-05:00That nurse needs to have a little Xanax dropped in...That nurse needs to have a little Xanax dropped into her coffee.

(i think i made a new word) :) keep your chin up and tell her off the 1st chance you have! as soon as she realizes you won't stand for these attacks.. or better yet, will call her out for her bs, she'll pick on someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
