I'm hoping I'm wrong and being paranoid but I want to make sure I avoid as many problems as I can as a new nurse. I graduated in 2013 with my BSN in nursing and worked at a inner city hospital for two years as a PCA and when I graduated college I was promoted to an RN on the same unit.......bad idea... Apparently some of the staff did not see me as a RN but still as a PCA and it caused many problems eventually causing me to leave my job as a RN there after 7 months. I just now found another job at a nursing home after being unemployed for 5 months looking for RN jobs. As a new male RN I want to make sure I avoid sexism gossip and drama as much as possible in order to be successful and take good care of my patients. Does anyone have any experience or advice regarding this?
