What positions are available for Lpn that a loner could do

[Kimhdimino]

Hello,

I am a new grad. (LPN) . After experiencing school , clinicals and talking to Nurses, I have decided that I hate nurses because they are so nasty. I have had numerous bad experiences at hospitals where I was tying to be nice and helpful , and the nurses would just grab things away from me and make rude comments, ect. I am now wondering if there is anything I could do where I could be alone. Any ideas?

Continuous care hospice nurses are rather autonomous and generally do not mingle much with other nurses when working on their cases. You may also wish to look into private duty nursing, home health nursing, and group home nursing.

I have to say you might have had a few bad apples, but there tons of good nurses out there. The people I work with care about each other, and we are together so much they are just like family. Now of course not everyone is like this, but you will meet good people out there.

I would think private duty nursing would be your best bet.

Most nursing is teamwork, and it is very helpful as a new nurse to work with other nurses - you'll find their experience invaluable. I can't say that I've found many hostile or nasty nurses, so I really feel for you - it sounds as if you are very unlucky, or need to examine how you relate to others and perhaps if you take too much to heart. I don't mean that in a negative way; it is often difficult to see that having a different attitude might change the tone of a relationship, and the more experience nurses have so much to offer.

Best of luck to you,

Consider private duty work.

I had a similar experience going through school, most of the time at clinicals when you got to the unit, the nurse's would all avoid you like the plague and make you feel so unwanted. I can't say that for all the nurses though because I did have a few good experiences - mostly with new nurses who were recently students themselves and probably knew what it felt like. But after graduating I went to work at a nursing home and I love most of the people that I work with like they're family. (and I always make sure to give a warm welcome to students too since I had such bad experiences myself) I think that you would find working with nurses a completely different experience from being in school, but if you find it's still not your thing then home health would be your best bet. best of luck.

You need to work somewhere where the majority of nurses are nice :)

Don't laugh, these place DO exist!

As a student in clinicals, I realized that our presence was absolutely despised by most of the nurses whose routines we were seriously throwing off. However, the CNA's loved us! We were doing all their work for them!

I am sorry if you were treated poorly by the "I was born a nurse" nurses. You need to find a fit for you. I do not tolerate any such behavior from staff where I work. Being allowed to have nursing students is an honor that no nurse should throw away. And shame on any administrative nurse or nursing instructor who places students with a nurse who treats students poorly.You keep looking for a good place to work where you will be treated as the special person you are.

Being a "loner" often is the herald of a person who will be very responsible in her/his work. Take pride in what you have learned and I agree, you should keep looking for a place where you will be treated as a valued and accepted coworker.

I am a loner type, I do home health and love it but you must be sure of your skills, and not afraid to turn down an assignment that you are uncomfortable with.
