Gheez, I need to read this entire thread but I don't understand the anger. From the OP she is only talking about BITTER nurses. I think all bitter people need to leave the field as well (any field where customers are your target and you don't treat them right), I dont mean older, just the bitter ones. Now let me go read this thread...

I would suggest speaking with an advisor. Good luck!

This is the scariest thread ever. I am starting the night shift in a couple weeks and I am absolutely spooked right now.

I wouldn't say I am sensitive and I am not bubbly either but I am always respectful and nice and I have a really hard time understanding when co workers are disrespectful towards me and/or family members. People really need to learn to check their emotions at the door and not bring that into their work environment. JMO

I am still finishing my prereqs but good luck! I hope you get your acceptance soon.

I would make sure I know the policy and then go to HR and let them know the issue.

Yes, I did. I wanted to get the experience of being around nurses asap so I quit and decided to be a Unit Secretary while finishing my prereqs. Apparently the floor I work on is the most miserable floor in the whole hospital. You can clearly see they hate their jobs and for a split second I regretted my decision. I started talking to nurses in other areas and feel better but my first day was horrible. Everyone on my floor was rude and miserable, well almost everyone. I hate the job I have now, but I am sticking it out so that when I do finish school I can network my way into a department that actually has decent people.

My thoughts exactly. Smh

If you are questioning whether or not its okay to be a nurse as a AA, you don't need to be a nurse. There are racist people in every profession, deal with it. I am black btw. So what if everyone on here was like no it's not okay to be a nurse as a AA, was he going to find something else to do. Smh

CONGRATS!!!!!

Wow he is overreacting for real, especially since you said you two were cool. Don't kiss his a$$, you apologized now he needs to be an adult and get over it.

Congratulations!

I'm not a nurse yet but I have to say hang in there. :)

I can understand that but according to the original post they didn't cross any lines so some of the responses were a lil harsh IMO.
