Hi everyone,
So I am a male nurse who just graduated this year! I got a job working at a dialysis nurse.
So initially everything in orientation went great, the first couple of days were in a classroom type setting no problem their. Then we got to go on the hospital floor and it was great for a couple of days and then me and I of my co-workers had a bit of conflict. I offered one of my co-workers a ride home but, gave a day to think about it. In hindsight I kind of regret it but, I am glad I gave her time to think about it cause she said no. The couple of days were awkward and so I gave her space. I think she thought I liked her which was not true at all! The problem is that I felt like this person used that situation to her advantage and try to get more power/leadership position over me. I spoke up to supervisor when it started to get out of control and I am not sure what happened but, things settled down for a bit. I was pretty escatic and I made sure not to do anything wrong again.
Problem is that a couple of the more experienced nurses, especially one that is retiring are now harassing me/treating me unprofessionally. I try to be cordially but, the behavior still continues and the person who I had the problem with is back to her old behavior. I am really not sure what to do in this position. I feel like its best to leave and look for another job but, I have only been here for 2 months. The company paid me to do orientation and even though I am still not done with orientation. I feel bad about leaving because I feel like I am just taking their money away but, at the same time I don't want to deal with this kind of harassment. I feel like if I talk to a supervisor again they are not going to look kindly towards me because I am a new nurse and I am complaining about other co-workers who have been their for years.
