at the end of the day, it all comes down to RESPECT! one may have all the credentials the world has to offer, but if he/she does not know how to show respect for others, this culture of "I am smarter than you" will always be present in the workplace. thank you to those who left messages. i like what meandragonbrett wrote, "Just let it roll off your shoulder and know that some nurses will always be jerks."

In the facility where I work, ICU nurses have this ability to make non-ICU trained nurses feel small whenever we transfer a patient to their unit. I was transferring a patient one day, and the ICU charge nurse brushed me off as I was giving report. I cannot understand why ICU nurses need to have the "i know it all and im the best nurse' attitude. Is there a need for them to feel they are smarter than the rest of us? I just dont get it. nursing is not about competition. but ICU nurses make other nurses feel that way. and its sad! what can we, med-surg nurses, do to help change this culture? I wish ICU nurses take to heart the poem "Desiderata".

request for a meeting with your manager, and in a professional manner, inform your manager that your request for tranfer is a career move. managers hate to lose their best workers, but they should not be in the way of your professional development. Good luck to you!
