I have been a nurse for over 35 years and have seen this kind of thing over and over! I feel like they are setting you up to fail, not because of anything you’ve done, but because you don’t fit their preconceived ideas of what an ED nurse is supposed to be like! I have heard other nurses comment on nurses in other departments, saying they don’t know how a Real nurse works, etc. I’m glad that you have an exit strategy, because frankly I don’t think they will give you a fair shake. ED nurses are a territorial bunch. They don’t mind if you come and “help” them out once in a while, but they will make you walk through fire to become one of them. Good Luck to you!
