Helluvanurse

Very difficult as single parent with kids. I lasted a few months. Got sick all the time.

Yes leave. It's an abusive environment. Also the fact that people get vengeful tell me they aren't stable enough to act professional which means they aren't a good fit for this field. The focus should be on the safety of the patient via rounding on time not focusing on backbiting and being immature.

Yes it's like that in the places I've worked. They are mentally ill. That's their behavior. It's the nature of the field.

Same here. We don't play the victim we just take a break. It's the law.

I take all my breaks unless in a code situation. I work in a hospital with a great Union. Perhaps time management is an issue for some?
