It is sad, but I do have to agree with the majority of these post. Women are just "catty" by nature and when you are in a career field that is mostly women, this is what you run into. I am at a point where I have been a nurse for only 2 and 1/2 years and I am considering another career change because the backstabbing and lack of team work between nurses is so sad. I work with nurses that try so hard to get even with each other that it consumes them, and really the only people that suffer are the patients. I see why there is a nationwide shortage of nurse because people get tired of dealing with it after a while. I know I am.
