1. Attention nurse bullies... and victims!!

   PearsonBSN replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   As a victim of bullying when I was a younger nurse, I can attest that NETY. Some of the hostility towards younger nurses is rooted in job insecurity. The new grads can be hired at cheaper salaries, they may already have their BSN degree, and they ar...

   PearsonBSN replied to Xtina, BSN, RN's topic in Relations

   Bullying has been bred into the nursing culture. Bad experiences as students and new graduates create nurses who bully. When they are finally in a position of even minimal authority, instead of nurturing, they can take on the attitude of entitlement ...

4. Why I'm leaving nursing

   PearsonBSN replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

   If a patient chooses to place race over clinical competence, then they get what they deserve. If a patient rejects a nurse because of their race or ethnicity, I don't think that nurse should be subjected to that patient for a full 8 or 12 hour shift....

7. racist patients

   PearsonBSN replied to Rn 1979's topic in Relations

   PearsonBSN replied to Rn 1979's topic in Relations

   When I have to deal with those types of patients, I choose to view them as ignorant and not racist. Racist would mean that there is hate. Ignorance, though still hurtful, implies a knowledge deficit combined with an insensitivity. I feel sorry for th...
