Would someone who is already working as an RN please explain to me why some nurses are sooooo hateful and rude to student RNs? Please don't get me wrong--I realize that everyone is busy and I understand that. But, is it too much to ask to at least be acknowledged? It seems to me that if the shortage is half as bad as everyone says it is, nurses could at least say "Hi" or smile or something. But, some nurses just pretend that we aren't there! Do these people not realize that the students will graduate and could be coworkers? Who wants to work with a bunch of cranky, unfriendly people?
Please, everyone, be nice to the student nurses!!
