Do new graduates RN's get ,easier patients?

[lovehospital]

I'm about to graduate soon and will apply for a job obviously in the hospital (as my name suggest it).I was wondering how true is that at the beginning of their career/training,after orientation the nursing manager tries to assign more stable,easier patients to new graduates....and for how long or am I living in fantasy world?

Belfegor,

The original poster had started multiple threads with a negative attitude, and many of those ended up being closed. The reactions you are reading from posters here are stemming from the OPs overall behavior that she has displayed here on Allnurses. No, we aren't all mean, hostile, nurses that eat our young and I'm sorry that it looks that way from reading this one thread. We are quite the opposite actually and if you had been following the threads that led up to this one, you'd be able to see that.

This hits the nail on the big, entitled head.

i believe that if a negative behavior is displayed, most of the time it is to cover insecurities.

not to condone negative or provocative posts, however the more mature and experienced of us should

show the example by being generous and trying to show support to the newcomers.

escalating and being "meaner" than the offender (if offender there is) is not helping our profession and community of nurses overall.

i feel safe in saying this: the words in those posts are no different than the actual enactment of many (most?) nurses in real life/professional situations!

i am so tired of this tugawar amongst nurses. can we stop being the worst b*** in the creation and actually apply towards each other what we preach in theory: caring!

you are the mature, experienced adults. behave as such !

(and yes, nurses do eat their young ! been there, done that!!!)

if you go back and read the initial responses to this thread (and the many other threads started by the op that turned sour), the op asks our advice and posters do offer support and constructive feedback. the op gets defensive and in many cases rude, and people respond by telling the real truth and not sugar coating it. it's "tough love" if you will, letting the op know she needs to change her approach before she hits the floor as a real nurse. like i said before, this had been an ongoing trend with the op for a bit and that's why people were quick to respond harshly in this particular thread. i can understand how it would look like we are just being catty to someone like you who hasn't been around for the previous threads.

thank you april rn,

i do appreciate your patience in explaining the situation. i will go back to the beginning of the thread to see first hand

what you are referring to.

well, i am certainly sorry if your (as in, all of you on this thread) reaction is justified.

you are probably right as well to stress the fact that a coin has 2 faces .

just for the sake of curiosity, why do you think the op reacts/behave the way you describe?

is the op just a spoiled brat? or is there more to it than the bravado perceived as rude and defensive? i am not saying either theory is true but i am truly curious to understand the dynamic at work.

i hope you guys will indulge my curiosity as it would be quite a unique opportunity for me to learn more about those interactions that always leave me baffled and scratching my head for the missing piece.

thank you,

b

Is the OP serious with some of her comments. I believe that some of the responses were dead-on. They are getting a little too excited for to have never worked except for being a student/aide? Really, just wait until you get into the hospital. You might want to recant that statement about not making friends at work, because when the crap is going down (i.e. Code Blue), you better hope someone likes you. Yes, it is our responsibility to take care of people, but we have to take care of each other as professionals as well.
