In one of your examples you state since you had a problem with nurse that asked you a question you didn't answer and sent her somewhere else. Maybe this means that indeed you may be a part of the problem as well as the solution.

To me, that is not teamwork at all. Nursing on any floor is about working together and you can really see when this is happening and when it is not as a patient and as a co worker.

Someone once told me that you can't get along with everyone all the time but if you continue to have the same problem over and over again it is time to reassess your own communication skills. Remember, part of communicating is guaging the other person's communication style and fixing yours to theirs to make things go smoothly.

The solution would be to completely assess yourself and the situations you find yourself in and then think about what you can do to make this situation better for everyone.

Hope all turns out for the best for you.

(scratching my head vigorously)

so if it was just a matter of the tubing being in his bm, (and not being dislodged), why was he in resp distress? r/t bm?

I've found many a dislodged line of one sort or another in the poo.

I've even had them insert the line into their nether regions if the poo wasn't forthcoming...

Huh???????

Seems like the stress level is vary high in this department for you. Once you are labeled as not being a team player, whether is deservered or not, it will probably be hard for you to work there. I know you never said anything about being a team, but that is probably how the incidents are being interpreted. I would try to lay low there, if it does not get better maybe look for another job.
