The sad thing about the nurses who brag about " running other nurses" off the floor is that they are the same ones who ***** about being short staffed. They are a bunch of territorial, insecure nasty little(or big) *****es who have no business being nurses. They tried to do that to me when I started as a CNA(I am a senior in nursing school) and I didn't put up with it for a second. You shouldn't either. It's bulls#$!*

YOU need to stand up to them and not let them give you more than you can safely handle. You are not doing the patients any favors by meekly accepting a horrible assignment. And if they dare say you are being uncooperative or refusing an assignment, you need to take them IMMEDIATELY to the DON or whomever is in charge. Do it for the safety of your patients. I found whenever I was expected to do more than was humanly possible and gave good reasons that it was at the best interest of the patients I not accept an assignment that would jeopardize care, the Charge Nurse stepped in and adjusted assignments. Yes, even during the orientation period. If you don't learn now, you'll be a doormat for anyone else coming along.
