I am on a committee to discuss, deal and eradicate nurses eating their young. Hard and impossible task I know; However, something must be done! We recently had a few issues with very experienced nurses belittling our new nurses. Yes, the new nurse may have over sold themselves in their interview, but who doesn't? Now the experienced nurses are very quick to pass judgement and to talk down to the new nurses like they are stupid for not being the best at NG tubes or a pediatric Foley cath.
I am trying to come up with a catchy, possibly somewhat silly/dumb phrase to get people attention that we need to educate and not belittle.
Does anyone have any ideas on this they can share or what they may have done in their own ER?
Thanks!!!
