The workplace I work in is mentally and emotionally exhausting me.
I feel miserable when I work with certain people. They talk behind my back. Negative. Judge your practice and not helping. They watch you suffer and laugh about it. I have other great coworkers who help me out and support me but they are not in my rotation. People I work with are miserable people and kill my spirit. We also have a doctor who bullies new nurses and nurses who are slow. there is no teamwork. patient load is way too high. 8 during the day and 20 during the night with help of aids.
I love my job, I love 90% of the coworkers. But management sucks, I get bullied by lab techs too who yells at me and tells other nurses I am not competent.
I am a good nurse. I work hard, patients love my care and I follow the correct nursing standards. I am still learning I am positive. People tell me I do good but there are those certain people that just bully me for no reason. Maybe because I don't have strong personality. I am into my 7 months. I want to leave this place. I moved from my home to work here. I don't deserve the crap that I am getting from my coworkers. I get no respect.
But I am scared I will be jobless and my career as a nurse will end if I leave before getting another job. I am applying, it has been about 2 weeks since I have been actively applying but I am receiving no response. I want to succeed as a nurse and later as a good manager.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. And yes I asked my manager for help, nothing was done. Bullying by those certain people (3-4 in total) began since day 1. I am not the only victim but nothing has been done (a few new grads left due to bullying) I miss my family and friends what should I do
