I am trying to get advice on how to try and change bad behavior in the workplace.
I recently started a new job in the ER and I am so disgruntled with how all of the nurses
speak to each other. It's basically very rude and borderline disrespectful. I have already told
one person who spoke to me rudely to never speak to me like that. But since I am the new
nurse and still in orientation, I was looked at like I was the one with issues. Unfortunately, I was told by the supervisor that I shouldn't take offense to how I am spoken to because everyone tends to be very blunt with each other and that's just how it is. I find it so sad that the supervisor does not understand that it's her responsibility to change that culture in her workplace. The way I see it, she reminds me of an old nurse who is just set in her ways and does not like change. Would like to get thoughts from supervisors who accepts this behavior and why.
