My question is: Why are nurses so mean to each other?

[LadyJRN1]

Hello everyone!

I am not here to complain; however, I would like to vent just a little. I was recently let go from a job because my boss believed someone who was not an RN take a comment totally out of text and she believed them instead of me. I am surviving - however, my point is this: why do nurses have to sabatauge other nurses and make their lives miserable? I do have to say the meanest people I have ever met are in the field of nursing and it makes me wonder what good I actually do in this field. I have yet to find my nitch and have been an RN for 5 years now. Please write and tell me I am not the only nurse in the world who feels that she cannot trust anyone and that other nurses are so mean and nasty it makes what I do not seem worth it. Thanks for listening!

Nurses forget that they were once a novice. I never did I am happy to help any one. Nurses need to stop you are not getting paid more or less to be nasty. You don't see doctors doing that and they don't even know each other but will protect themselves from you who they do know. Work together it makes life easier.  I have seen Nurses do horrible things to others. I have cover Nurses thst did things so bad it's that bad and it was because of arrogance.  You all better wake up and drink the coffee cause it gets worse with the alpha generation.  Don't come into nursing cause of the money you got to like what you do or you will burn out or get sick. I know two Nurses that were bullied so bad that they committed suicide.  Come on enhance and embrace not cut down. When I see this I do address it asap.
