Rude nurses

You are assuming a few things I see.

let me give you some more background.

I graduated from high school early and began college when I was 16 years old. I have 2 bachelors degrees (biology and nursing). I worked as a med-surg nurse for 3 years before medical school. While I was in medical school, I worked as a home health nurse and during my final year, I worked a 6 month contract (full time) on a med surg unit at a teaching hospital.

#Iknowmy****.

So actually, I do have experience as a nurse.

I don't think it is just me. Other interns have mentioned it as well. Might just be the culture here.

I’ve welcomed our new residents with open arms this week. Maybe it’s the culture of the unit? I’ve never been rude to a physician even when they were completely derogatory to me.

We are all a team working towards the same goal.

Maybe give it a little longer than a week, so they can see how you are. Does that make sense? We had an intern that seemed stuck up and then truth be told she was just shy and quiet.

Really? You went to nursing school, worked as RN AND got your MD at age 26? hmmmmmm

yup and I will be a practicing dermatologist in 4 years.

It'll be okay. Focus on what you're there to learn. Tell them you used to be a nurse or don't - - that information isn't what's going to make the difference in the long run, but I suspect you already know that, and also that you know how to develop rapports with others.

Congrats, Happy belated July 1, and good luck! ??

My experience has generally been the opposite. Despite being grossly overworked and understaffed, the overwhelming majority of nurses I have worked with have been amazingly collegial. Even under great stress, rarely would I describe anyone as rude, although I admit some are not friendly.

A few bring their personal problems with them to work. The very occasional nurse seems to have some type of strange personal agenda.

A couple of nurses over the years seemed to have a character disorder, which I don't take personally.

Rude? Generally no. Mixed up? Sometimes.

Can't imagine a real doctor wasting the time to come here to troll, no matter what their age. To have to bring age up just shows a deeply embedded insecurity, if in a different universe, this could even be true. SDN material.

it's only logical step to think it's strange to have a bachelor degree, then have a post-bachelor degree that takes minimum 4 yrs, not even accounting the yrs that OP was not in school for due to work. You mention my thought is d/t insecurity, but it's a rationale path of thought especially given the situation that this is online where anybody can say literally anything without proof, which by the way tells me judging by your post, that you're quite young, naive and immature.
