I am looking for some advice. I am a new nurse that has worked on a psychiatric inpatient unit for 8 months. I love working with the patients, however I can not stand my job due to the negative environment the STAFF has produced. I have been in the charge nurse role for a couple of months now and I do not feel very confident, probably due to the fact my clinical leader has ZERO confidence in me. I feel I am harrased while giving report in the morning, constantly questioning my judgement on everything, although I am sure to ask my coworkers in any sticky situation. My coworkers are usually supportive, but there is always those who appear nice to your face and talk behind your back. Everyday is started with negativity, everyone is stressed out. I am constantly anxious. I guess I am questioning if I have given this job enough of a chance, or if I should move on. I am sad that it has come to this point, where negative attitudes are deterring my love for psychiatric nursing care. Please, any advice is greatly appreciated:)
