hi, i'm a student applying to nursing schools right now. some of my friends are in nursing school, and i know a person that is an rn. i understand that nurses mostly consist of women... i'm a girl and i know how girls can be to eachother - unecessarily gossipy, clique-ish, or just downright mean. has anyone seen mean girls the movie? yes, a teenie bopper film, i know, but unfortunately some women more or less, adults can perpetuate their rude mannerisms. i know not all employees are perfect and we don't live in a perfect world, however i hear stories from friends... stories about how their clinical (girl) instructors at school are b*tches, and like to take power trips.... or how my friend worked at a hospital being a student nurse, and the staff was totally divided up into cliques, specifically races (ie fillipinos, caucasians, african-americans, etc). or an rn i know gets treated meanly, with attitudes thrown her way when she is so nice, and is sometimes ostracized by her employees bc they break off into cliques! :smiley_abi know that nursing is about helping others, and of course, has its positives, but when i imagine myself being a nurse, i can't help but to worry about how social conflicts, or employee to employee interactions may come about. i know all jobs can be like this of course... but nurses seem to have more of that problem? can someone help me out and be honest??
