Thank you for your honest feedback. I think my biggest problem is confidence. I ask for help or a 2nd opinion whenever I have had traumas in the past and maybe that has made my peers not trust me. I will work with my manager regarding my concerns although its frustrating when they say "youre doing fine" and yet my room assignment never seems to be challenging. This is why obtaining my CEN has been so important to me, bc you really cant argue with a nurse thats obtained their CEN. This has been my plan...get certified. That will prove my skill set....right? Hopefully! Ill keep you guys updated!

I have been in the ER for roughly 2 years. My room assignment usually includes me floating for 4 hours, or working on our minor side of the ER. I am rarely assigned trauma rooms and on the rare occasion that I am assigned, it seems like my charge nurse avoids putting "real "traumas"" in those rooms. I feel like my peers avoid handing off one of their trauma rooms to me while they lunch.  I have pulled my.manager to the side and asked for honest feedback. He says that I a great nurse.  I asked my preceptor how she felt about me as a nurse and if people talk about me - she says no and that I am a good nurse. During my evals - I purposely request my peers who I know do not care for me to provide feedback and I get "she is a good nurse great teamplayer." I have completed TNCC, ENPC, and plan to take my CEN - however I cannot shake the feeling that my peers do not respect me as a ER nurse. What to make of this?
