I recently returned to nursing after a 4yr hiatus. I'm not sure I should have. I'd forgotten how abusive and toxic some nurses can be towards their aides and other nurses. And how their bullying behavior can be tolerated by unit managers and DONs for various reasons. I'm disheartened and unhappy most days. I was so excited to return to nursing, I missed doing what I love, and this is the working environment I've entered.
