Re: Do you have friends at work?
I've been an RN for about 2 and a half months now. The people I work with, most of them, would rather I not speak to them. Why? Because I'm the newbie, I let things get too late, I ask too many questions, etc. Those people I
do talk to, I only talk to them while at work. I don't trust anyone enough to let them have my phone number, let alone know anything personal about me. The other day, one of the night nurses called my house just so she could lecture me. I very ticked off that, not only did she waste her time in calling me, but that
she called my personal house number! The only people who should have that should be my nurse manager and the nurse educator. How she got it, I have no idea. I don't trust anyone in my floor at all, and I doubt I'll come out leaving there with anything but acquantainces.
Do you have friends at work?

I've worked with people who I enjoy talking to and socialize with at work but none of them have I trusted enough to let them into my personal life out of work. I hear how much they talk about one another... I've seen nurses become friends and then something happens outside the job and the nurses come back telling it all...like it's high school with the gossip. OMG, I just don't trust it. I think I need to work on my trust issues. Or maybe LTC is a different animal.
