I suppose I want to vent, or maybe make a statement. I am generally a laid back person, at work and at home. I realize that everyone has their own personality, however I wanted to bring this up and see what everyone has to say about it.
My entire nursing career, I have tried to be friendly to new hires and nursing students. After all we were in the same position once too!
Since my husband and I have been travel nursing I have noticed "unfriendly nurses".
I don't know if they just don't like new people in general or if it's because we are travelers. I even had one nurse introduce me to someone I was going to report to as "the traveler". I had to reply that I had a name and expected them to use it.
What is it? Are they afraid we want their jobs? Hey, I'm having a great time traveling and will be gone in 12 weeks......no threat here.
Is it that they don't think we have experience? Hey, I have forgotten more than most of these young guns have learned. Besides, as a travel nurse the hosptials expect you to hit the ground running with very little orientation.
Anyone have a take on this?:typing
I'm an outgoing and friendly person, and honestly I miss my friends at home. Would like to make new friends all over this great USA.....
So, thanks for listening and welcome any and all comments......
