It sounds like this is the culture on this unit and you won't be able to change it unless you are interested in becoming the unit manager and hiring new people. Another option is to leave.
That's what we get, I've met a few NPs that mislead people to believe they are medical doctors. I witnessed a psych NP telling the Pt that she was the doctor more than once, she even said it in front of a psychiatrist once. I was being treated by a...

You can be protected by the law as a Whistleblower. If you do not report this to the state you will be culpable. If your leadership finds out what you did, they will fire you sooner or later. Report up the chain of command and document. The offen...

This Charge Nurse sounds like one I worked with and she is emotionally abusive and grossly unprofessional. She will likely not stop unless you check her. It may help if you speak to her privately and tell her specifically what you will not tolerate...
