Eating Their Young

Hey everyone!

I'm curious- which nursing specialty do you think has more nurses that eat their young and is more likely to have a toxic work environment? And why?

    Here we go again. Sounds kinda homeworky.

    Assuming that this is a serious post...

    I find that the more stressful the environment, and/or the more

    saturated with females (yes I'm serious)... the more likely you

    will have nurses "eating their young", as well as any other nurse,

    new or seasoned, who opens themselves up to being easily bullied

    by having a more passive personality.

    I believe med-surge, ICU, and ER to be the worst areas for this.

    No specialty is immune. All nurses eventually develop a taste for young flesh. The toxic environment results from the subsequent passing of gas as those old nurses digest their young meals. :yawn:

    Nurses eat their young because young nurses continue to post items about nurses eating their young. You see, it drives us to it.

    I don't think of it so much as homeworky as provocative. But I don't know why. There's currently a 7-page NETY thread already booming.

    Lack of imagination, maybe?

    Definitely labor and delivery. I don't consider my day complete until I've made at least 2 coworkers cry.
