Recently moved to a new city due to significant others work. I started a job at a Nicu and recently took care of a baby that was deteriorating. I went in the room and stimulated baby due to apnea which the respiratory therapist came in and yelled at me for doing so saying I should just turn up her o's. I then tried to explain to said person pt wasnt breathing so increasing fio2 will not help which is why I did what I did. After that contacted the NP due to repeating events to which nothing was done charted in the provider notification log that NNP was contacted came to bedside acknowledged my concerns no new orders at this time etc to which the NP went to the charge nurse and told her privately that she didn't appreciate me charting no new orders at this time (which I have always done it was not an act of malice) but this shift really has me contemplating if this facility is a good fit for me or if I should cut ties. I know it's normal to not always love your coworkers but being the new person and already feeling like people don't like you/ the way I have previously been taught in my past 4 years as a Nicu nurse is hard.
