Nurse Bullying Really Sucks 

It should be mandatory that nurses have an annual exorcism.

What's unfortunate is some nurse bullies will watch this....and not believe they're the bully

Nurses are either angels or literal mean girls, no in between. It's crazy and such a gamble.

Those senior nurses acting as if they weren't a baby nurse before. Karma is on their way.

Nursing school doesn't talk about bullying because some instructors are bullies too

Nurse here of 10 years and I have zero tolerance when I see nurses bullying other nurses. I shut that shit down right away. I love new nurses and love being a preceptor. We all were new at some point. I know they are timid and scared exactly how I felt. Makes me sad.

I worked registration in the ER whilst studying to be a nurse. Let me say. This was enough experience to change my career path. Those nurses were vicious

i don't understand how the nurse that reported you for tapping your foot didn't get reprimanded for wasting your boss' time, especially in a work setting where lives are at stake

I am not a nurse, but I am a unit clerk. I have seen so much cliquey behaviour and bullying from many of the younger nurses. It is crazy how you can watch the "in crowd" be in charge and the new hires be outcasted, and then eventually the outcasts all befriend each other due to the trauma bonding of being an outcast, and then the "in crowd" all either quit or move to another department, and then those nurses who were the outcasts who were creating their friendships with each other due to feeling excluded then become the new "in crowd" and then exclude everyone else. It's so fascinating to watch this happen over and over.

Figures. All of the most vicious female bullies at my school became "oh so caring and kind" nurses.

"Nurses eat their young." They cry about accepting double shifts for days in a row (they can't say no to management), then bully & back-stab new hires there to help them... Honest to God, I hope they miss out on their children's childhood/ I hope their children grow up to hate them. Kharma!

Yep I just quit my new grad job as an Trauma nurse because of bullying from my preceptor and charge nurse. They would go out of their way to humiliate me in front of everybody. I was cussed out and called stupid on a daily basis for asking questions…

I dont understand why majority of nurses do this?? Like we have a nationwide shortage of healthcare workers. Everyone is over worked and load of responsibility. Why not just be respectful to eachother and do your best at work? How do these people find time to even bully working 12 hours shift with 100 patients-!!???? As an RT after a 12 hour shift im ready to knock out. I dont have time gossipping, fighting, bullying, etc etc. These people need Therapy

It’s baffling how an ICU nurse even has the time to report a complain about something so insignificant. Karens be crazy

I’ve been a nurse for 26 years. I’ve been combatting nurse bullying!! “Nurses eat their young!” WTF??? That’s is NOT okay! Destroying their confidence is not conducive to success. My friend and I spent many mornings crying in the car after a 12 hour shift. SMH! Nurses should uplift other nurses!!!!!

Imagine how they treat their patients. Nurses that bully need to be written up and action needs to be taken against them. My friend experience that in the hospital, when she when from a CNA to a R.N. They complain and got her fire. she didn't stop going to school, she's now a nurse Practitioner and still going to school.

I don’t get bullied. I bully the bully. #MaleNurse

Male nurse here- suspended after 6wks on my 1st gig for an allegation of abuse, perpetuated by my trainer. I wasn't told anything except to leave the facility immediately mid-shift, pending an investigation. They called me 2wks later to come in to discuss. I told them I'm not going to remember anything after 2wks in the dark & quit over the phone. Now work in a different field. F_ them!!!

My bullying started IN nursing school typically by people like 10 years older than me. I was almost SA’d by one of them too. Since I got away, she began to make my life hell in and out of the classroom/hospital. Luckily my classmates caught on. Why do so many evil vicious humans go into nursing?? SO weird. Has to be some kind of phenomenon. Narcissism???

Thanks for talking about this. A person can feel so alone when they're bullied, but in reality it happens to so many people.

EVERYONE BEING BULLIED. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. YES YOU CAN. TELL THEM, "Stop talking to me disrespectfully because I'm not talking disrespectfully to you. Here to take care of people." That charge nurse was threatened by you!!!!

Who the hell would want to work in the nursing field. This bullying should be grounds for reprimand and or penalties. I have heard this for years.

I was a new nurse in 1984. My first hospital job was in a big hospital outside the Washington DC beltway. I worked on a CCU step down unit. My hiring supervisor told me “Just remember…There is no such thing as a stupid question, so don’t ever worry about asking questions.” It was a trap. I was a very confident nurse going into that job, but if I was at all unsure of something, or unsure of a policy or protocol, I’d ask rather than risk making an error. This came back to me as “seems to lack fundamental knowledge”….and “appears to lack confidence and problem-solving skills.” Worse than that, I worked night shift and loved those hours, so I went to work with a really good attitude. For that I was suspected of use of drugs “uppers/amphetamines” and had to prove I had no drugs in my system on a few occasions. My next job (after staying in the DC area only 8 months) was across the country and as a per diem nurse. I never asked questions (if I had one I’d look it up and never let on that I had), and I never let the staff see me too thrilled to be there (although my patients got the best I could give them). My hospital evaluations were stellar…..You’d think I could walk on water. One hospital even bought out my contract and hired me from my agency as their new med/surg unit manager, less than one year after leaving my first nursing job where my periodic evaluations were shit. Word to the wise: Keep your own records of disagreements (or bullying) with co-workers, especially those in supervisory roles. At that first job of mine I had a couple of serious issues with my supervisor and I started recording the details of those and filing them with my attorney. When it came to asking her for a written recommendation for my next place of employment, she tried to say she wouldn’t be able to give me a very favorable recommendation. That’s when I told her I had been keeping a record of our discussions, disagreements, and the bogus drug suspicions, and I, with my attorney who had these records, would be happy to go in front of a Board of Inquiry at the hospital and see what they had to say. She turned her tune a 180, and gave me an unbelievably glowing recommendation. Hmmmm…..🤔 I wonder what made her change her mind? Seems some things never change or may be worse, so protect yourselves…..keep records of your own, especially if there are one person’s word against another issues. Your written words will hold more weight than their spoken ones. I retired after thirty years in nursing in 2012. I’d like to think my staff, and visiting staff, found me kind, helpful, knowledgeable and respectful. I didn’t suffer bullies myself, and I tried to protect my nursing and unit staff from them as best I could…..even if they were MY superiors. If you are a nurse, be the best nurse and HUMAN you can be, but don’t be a pushover (at least not a known one!😜)

As a recent medicine residency graduate, I feel blessed after watching this; I never experienced toxicity or bullying during my 3 years of training (but I certainly did hear of others experiencing this). But the one time I did experience bullying was when a nurse called my handset at 2am complaining that I was late picking up a patient. She said something like “where the f*ck are you, the patient has been waiting 15 minutes for transport”. Turns out she thought I was her MA or CNA. When I informed her that I was the doctor on call, and that I didn’t know what the hell she was talking about, she apologized profusely. It was this experience that made me realize how toxic nurses can really be behind the scenes. Sorry that you experienced it as well

It’s sad. They forgot where they came from and how they started as a nurse.

I’m an icu nurse an I agree with everything you said Alex. ICU nurses can be really mean some think they are the only ones that know how to think critically and everyone else is stupid

This is why I loved being a hospice nurse. You work in the field in patient’s homes and living facilities. You are on your own but it is liberating. Even though you run into people in the office and at meetings you are not “sucked” into the toxicity. And the patients/families are great

I left nursing school when the clinical instructors bullied the students. There were students crying in the parking lot at the end of the day. I used to wake up in the morning for clinical with a sense of dread that made me sick to my stomach. High school was an absolute cake walk by comparison.

Hell hath no fury and hostility than a nurse who is "off the clock" after work. My mother and sister were nurses, they come home and are hostile to every one in their family. My mother would say horrible things when she was tired. Complaining and "all those patients are just lazy". Nurses are nice to the patients but as soon as they punch the card "out".... watch out!

My sister was a phlebotomist for many years. She frequently told me that the nurses in the various departments were very cliquish. If you didn't "fit in" where they hired you, you didn't last long. The baby floor was especially notorious for mistreating new nurses. One of the housekeepers told her that she overheard the nurses making fun of her looks, it made her cry. Such pathetic cruelty from people who went to school to be nurses is inexcusable!!!

Healthcare is sooo toxic the bullying is insane !

thanks for talking about this alex!! seriously hardly any nurses talk about this, they just glamorize nursing. i dont get why people make the job miserable if its already hard. the stupid highschool mentality is sooooooo annoying.

I'm going to be the new nurse to *professionally* clap back at the rude RNs that try to talk down to me. There really should be no place for nurse bullying.

Health care is like high school all over again

One of the reasons I would never return to mental health nursing. I know I am generalising, but bullying really broke my heart and passion for this field.

It’s crazy toxic. I wouldn’t encourage even my dog to do it. And if you want to be quiet soul and just do your job and go home, oh how you will be hated. You will face RAGE.

The rise of bullying is usually the general barometer for the decline of an organization / civilization. The writing’s on the wall, people.

I’ve been an RN for 7 years, and have experienced bullying in every place I’ve been by at least one nurse, all of them 15-20+ years older than me. One of them mocked me in front of me (pretending I wasn’t there) over my wound care experience. I had started wound care nursing right out of nursing school when I worked in a SNF. Then I worked at a hospital in med-surg and on the wound team, and obtained my WCCN while working there. This older nurse was saying things like, “seems like they’ll just let anyone do wound care”. I was shocked, to say the least. Now I work in a hospice facility, and even the older nurses and our manager come to me for input on our patients with complex wounds. 😊 I am a preceptor and I love to teach! I feel so proud when the nurses I’ve worked with and trained blossom and flourish! If your coworkers are treating you badly, there are places where your skills will be appreciated and your colleagues will respect you. There are amazing nurses and preceptors out there! Every nurse has particular skill sets and something to contribute to the profession. Don’t give up ❤

I encourage everyone to NOT allow it! Don’t keep accepting the excuses they make for them. Please don’t let them push you away from what you want to do in your career.. Fight back in a professional way but sometimes you literally have to check them RIGHT THEN when it happens let them know you see it and you will not stand for it.

Any unit i go to where drama and gossiping and bullying is present,i’m out!

Remember to put a workers compensation claim if you suffer mental or physical trauma at work.. never resign.

I was eaten alive when I first started ...it was hell on earth...terrible vicious people

The worst bullying is when you are experienced and competent and a new manager sees you as a threat. They dig through your file searching for dirt then begin filling your file with negative feedback in preparation for a manufactured disciplinary action. Nurses can be the worst bosses.

I experienced the worst bullying as a student nurse, some of them were just vicious! Then I went to medical school, & had a vastly different, mostly positive experience. But I still see so much bullying amongst my nurse colleagues, and it baffles me why these women enter a supposedly ‘caring’ profession.

You are correct. Some nurses make a mountain out of the molehill to get you into trouble. I am a black RN and face lots of bullying.

I was helping a patient and right out in the open I was told by the charge nurse, "now would be a time to use your outdoor voice". I just looked at her like wtf is your problem. I never knew a career where I wanted to help people could be so nasty. I also got called out in a board room full of nurses. I got called "Ms. Assertive ". The passive aggressiveness is disgusting. The manager was too immature to give me constructive feedback, to this day I still have no idea what she was referring to or what was up her butt.

For me as a patient, emergency room visits and hospital stays are very scary these days due to some of the nursing staff attitudes.

Simply, those monsters have a wrong job. They don't belong there and mostly, they are narcissists. There are tons of narcissists in health care.

Nurses have caused me unbelievable medical PTSD.

Nursing is toxic. I was bullied and harassed by group of nurses who did not like me. They went as far as falsifying information about me to HR. I am still fighting it.

Worse thing is when the manager encourage bad behaviors and do not take any actions. I have seen it all. Nurse and manager bullies both. Just imagine, if they can treat their colleagues like this, what they are doing to patients especially those who cannot talk and advocate for themselves. It's a shame. I believe in karma and i am sure they will get their share when they become old.

Nothing has changed. When I graduated in 2001, I went through the same bullying. I promised myself that I would never treat another human being the way I was treated. I have been a preceptor many times and I have kept that promise. New nurses need positive support and room to expand their own skills. 12 hour shift can be easy if the staff works together.

I witness a nurse refuse to cover her new grad’s lunch because that’s “what real nursing is like, she needs to find someone else” like omg let her eat!

The reason I appreciate these healthcare worker accounts and the comedy skits is because I had no idea what went on behind the scenes, as someone who has been abused in hospitals at a patient. It helps put things in perspective and maintain my empathy for the people who are trying to do the right thing in the most corrupt environments.

Tips to all nurses! Be mean back to your co workers! What’s the worst that happens - how long your license is fine! 👏 clap back! You will be place on PAID investigation and keep fighting it- make it last 4 months via grievances from Your union. And boom. A pseudo paid vacation

just don't be that nurse. You scar ppl for life. I hope this changes. Hang in there if you can. Love you all!

Unfortunately because of the good pay, nursing is getting filled with people who don't care about people, have no interest in medicine, and have no bed side manner. They come for the money Unfortunately

It literally makes me want to quit nursing 3 years in. 🙃 But I am really thankful for kind nurses that take time to educate.

Whoever ignores this video, that toxic person is a nurse bully in disguise

Some of these nurses should NEVER be allowed to teach and should be over seen by a facility nurse Educator

I’m an RRT (registered respiratory therapist) and will retire soon. The thing I’ll enjoy most about retirement is that I’ll never have to work around nurses again! It’s just high school all over again!

I can only assume those kinds of nurses are like that outside of work too. Maybe more subtle but still there. I loved having students and new grads/young nurses. My biggest thrill was watching them bloom with my help. Who doesn’t ❤ that?

I believe you. They're afraid of being exposed.

Healthcare in general. I had to stand up for myself couple of times after crying. Once I cried, it was up from there, I stopped being bullied and give them a taste of their own medicine

I talked about this in one of my videos! This is the main reason why I dropped nursing school, I strongly disliked most of the students and the professors. I knew how they were acting, being mean and condescending was a precursor of what I’d be dealing with in the field! As I’m already a medical assistant and I get a little taste of it now. People were tearing me apart in the comments, I’m glad more people are talking about this now!!

I was in nursing leadership and being bullied by the nurses in a position under me. So it is not always just lateral or from the top bullying. Bullying generally occurs because someone sees something in you they do not possess. Those nurses were merciless. They kept information from me, spread lies to my boss about me, and looked for ways to make my job harder. It’s very sad that nurses participate in this kind of behavior. I went to HR and told them everything. From being told I wasn’t liked by one of them to my manager being angry because she had to work in staffing when I called in sick with a migraine. They investigated and I know they could see that I was being targeted. My boss straight lied about me and I believe HR knew it was all lies and made up, but my manager made it clear she didn’t want me in my role. I made it clear, I did not want to be in that role anymore due to how I was treated. I knew it wouldn’t help me to file a complaint, but I also knew it was the best thing I could do for anyone else coming in there. When they literally said they didn’t want me in that role, they told HR I was a great nurse so they’d be fine with me being in staffing. HA! The fact they thought for even a second I wanted to work under that toxic of an environment is insane. I’m good!!! No thanks!!! Moral of the story is it doesn’t matter what position you are in, if a bully decides to be a bully, they won’t quit until they get what they want. By the time I left, my confidence was wrecked, I was depressed, anxious, and burned out. I wasn’t fired, but was asked to resign. I did and then HR gaslighted about helping me find a job in the organization because they made it clear I was a great nurse. I took it in my own hands and found a staffing job somewhere else. Good riddance! I am still in limbo with them and trying to gracefully tell them I’m out. I start my new job next week and they seriously think I want to stay and work for them. I have an offer from them for another department but I don’t think I want to take it at. I just want out. My new job is 2 hours away, but I’m willing to drive that just so I don’t have to deal with that hospital anymore. I wouldn’t wish what I have been through on my worst enemy.

I learned at a very young age, I prefer being and working around mostly men. Not any of that drama,chaos, bitching, back biting bullying

Im a new nurse at this hospital and is still on training. It was my first time doing the hand over and my senior nurse yelled and insulted at me instead of teaching me how to do the right thing. Now im afraid to do hand overs and im even more anxious to go to work.

HOW DARE YOU TAP YOUR FOOT!!!! I am so shocked that a trusted healthcare worker would do such a normal thing and am clutching my pearls.

I quit hospital nursing because of this very issue. I thought "If this is what nursing is like, I want no part of it." I decided to try home health nursing and love it. Other than the amazing patients, the best part of the job is not having to work in close contact with other nurses. Sad.

Been a nurse 25 yrs. Returning to my field of speciality. Have a young nurse who is TOXIC. Her duties include scheduling and training. I need to be trained on the computer only. She left me short multiple times alone without training. I trained myself, and figured it out at my age I can DO. I have the foundation to figure it out. This young woman who I am old enough to be her mother, has repeatedly and habitually called out, yelled at me, scolded me over the computer and in pts charts. Using enter office text to scold and I have gotten vocal over the last 3 weeks. I decided to ask a couple of people to help me figure out 3 items of documentation I need to nail down. She lost her mind, screamed and yelled again at me infront of all the staff and docs. Then called the clinical manager and removed me and sent me to another assignment. While she was yelling at me, making the entire office ( meant to be my retirement job) uncomfortable. I apologized to the other nurses and staff for her behavior. She is immature, unreliable with chronic abscesses, now proving to be volatile. However the behavior is tolerated so I spent this week/weekend peppering my CV all over. Phone interviews etc. It is horrific. She is TOXIC.

The crazy thing is, none of this bullying is actually about whether or not they like you- it’s about ACCOUNTABILITY!! It’s about simple respect and professionalism that they lack due to pride and being self-absorbed. People with INTEGRITY can dislike someone AND STILL treat them with dignity and RESPECT!!! Nursing, like any profession with power, will attract arrogant self-serving, power-tripping, status-climbing reputation-seekers- IF NOT people who genuinely just want to help people and survive.

I'm an ICU nurse (25 years old), have a Bachelor of Science degree (this is not mandatory in Germany unlike other countries), I am also a mentor for new nurses. I keep getting bullied, screamed at and false things are being spread about me. I am always interested about learning more, I never sit still and always work hard but these witches keep bullying me and now I'm about to quit and transfer to NICU. I've had enough! One year of dealing with this and I go to work crying all the time, feeling sick and like absolute shit!

I'm not sure why this popped up on my feed 9 months later after the video was initially posted, but yes, I definitely experienced terrible bullying as a new grad nurse in the ICU at a regional hospital in LA. First day, my "preceptor" scanned me from top to bottom and spoke in her own native language to her colleague and rolled her eyes at me. For 12 hours, she did not speak a single word to me, and I had to ask her a question for her to acknowledge that I existed. I have been told that I was too stupid to be in the ICU, got yelled at for bringing in most up-to-date evidence based practice because I was a new grad and not their ethnicity. I quit when my director ignored my plea for addressing nurse bullying in the unit (honestly the culture is toxic because the director doesn't give a shit). I am now at a much reputable hospital with better culture now (and happier), but nowhere is perfect. Like what you shared, I have my 4-5 nurses I trust and have my back and it has helped me even though my current workplace is not perfect either. Thank you for sharing! I am VERY passionate about raising awareness about this bullying issue.

As a patient I’ve dealt with nurse bullying specifically when I thought I was going to die after a car wreck that left me with two broken ankles hairline fractures and a broken wrist. I told them ahead of time I’m clinically diagnosed with a genetic anxiety disorder and that I take lexapro and have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist. But besides that any normal person would have been anxious in a car wreck thinking they had internal bleeding of some sort and were going to die at the hospital. I was only 21 and the wreck wasn’t my fault I was a passenger. They shoved Xanax down my throat and got annoyed with me and bullied me. I’ve always wondered why they go into fields that are supposed to be for empathetic people. I’m thankful for the nurses that care but I’ll never understand the ones that bully others. It’s even more difficult going to the hospital for mental issues such as psychosis, mental disorders, or self harm related issues cause they’ll make your life a living hell and blame you for something out of your control. These kinds of nurses should stay far away from health care. I’m so sorry you had this experience

I was straight abused while working in LTC and subacute- screamed at so badly that spit was hitting my face, being called inept, being guilt tripped, being physically threatened. It can be a disgusting work environment

i love you alex!! to be honest i wasn’t even shocked by your stories because i’ve experienced it myself. in my experience i notice the generational bias that exists in nursing. i’ve come to find that older nurses are NOT fond of us younger new grads. i understand we have our differences but it’s really sad that they choose to repeat history and generational patterns such as shaming you for your lack of knowledge rather than lending a hand and providing education. gossiping behind your back (or sometimes in front of your face) rather than realizing they were once in your shoes and making you feel welcomed. and trying to sabotage you for whatever reason… jealousy? who knows. but for all the new nurses out there, don’t let their lousy attitude tear down yours. they can choose to be bitter and tear others down to make themselves feel better but i will never stoop to that level.

I went to ICU from ER last year. ICU nurses are the WORST. A year in and it’s still terrible. They jump on any weakness they can find and run with it. And God forbid you aren’t willing to “play the game” by talking about everyone and playing into the drama lol. There are kind and mature people there, but unfortunately the toxicity is far stronger there than the positivity.

I’m not a nurse but i work in neuro, i wish a my would try to bully me. I keep seeing these videos about nurse bullying. Y’all better speak up and start making a paper trail!!!

I’m an ICU nurse and have been for over 5 years. It’s funny you say PICU nurses have been the ones bullying you because I have experienced it as well. We sometimes get floated there if there are kids on ECMO, and the nerve of some of these nurses are just unbelievable. So sorry you have to deal with these people.

Healthcare janitorial are the true Healthcare providers. They have always shown more true care towards patients and other often abusive staff, than anyone else.

Yeah, our nursing school teacher just laughs at us when we ask her what we need to study and talks down to us all the time.

Damn! SMH! I thought I had it bad in nursing school and maybe a little when I started out as a new nurse, but you had it worse! Been practicing over 10 years and I’m a somewhat new NP now. And I’m a nice nurse and NP and would never call another nurse dumb or talk bad about a nurse behind their back. God bless y’all!

I just want to send a huge shoutout to all of the good nurses out there! Thank you for ALL you do!!!

I just retired because of an office Bully. I am a very experienced RN and the office bully was a CMA

I’m so sad to hear that. Thank you for still being a nurse… hopefully there are things that can be changed to help prevent these sorts of situations in the future. I will keep that in mind as I seek to enter the medical field

I’ve experienced this as a student on icu. Had a hypothermic patient and was asked to look for a heating blanket for them so I was panicking looking around the store cupboard. I went back not able to find it asking for help and got soo told off and shouted at even tho I’d barely been in there. They were like this patient is hypothermic! And about how dangerous it is and that I need to hurry up because I’m too slow. but it was in an unlabelled box in the store room so I’d never have found it and it was on purpose. Honestly the way I’ve dealt with this is not showing a reaction to their face. It’s like a strength test😅 it should never happen tho an

As crazy as it sounds, this is all true and it's sad. I have been a nurse now for 3 years, all of which have been ICU. Luckily, I have not been bullied but I have seen it and I do not get it. Work as nurse is already stressful, so I do not get why people feel the need to make it more stressful. It fosters a place for bullying and tattling. I come in treating everyone kindly and with open arms to the newer nurses. I want to come in, have fun, lift the mood of the unit, take care of my patients and go home. All that extra stuff from negative and miserable nurses can stay away from me. I had to get someone in check for trying to speak down to a new nurse once. We have all been new at some point and didn't know what we know now, give people some slack. Thank you for making this video and speaking on this, Alex :)!

Am I the only one who originally thought we’d all be on the same team? Just there to help the patients?

I had no clue this type of behavior was even a thing.. Mental evaluations should be given in a majority of occupations now days, it’s absolutely ridiculous that anyone should be having to deal with bullying in the work place.

It's crazy because it seems like nurses being mean is a global epidemic, I'm kenyan and someone from Chile said it's the same there

Going into my last semester as a nursing student in Australia and wow I can definitely confirm it’s like high school. It’s so refreshing to hear some down to earth advice about nursing. Love your vids!!

Yes I can relate to this even though I'm a dental nurse in the UK 🇬🇧. I'm a very private person, keep to myself, but remain professional at all time. Overall I just go to work get my stuff done then go home. I don't gossip nor treat anyone unfairly as I believe we are all a team. My colleagues are so noisy, rude to me and have made racist remarks that I have to sadly overlook cause I only work a few days there. But I just feel like they don't respect who I am and it is mentally draining. Its like they want to forcelly expose my personal life and gossip about others which is not in my nature. So from now on I've decided to not have lunch with them anymore. Nursing is a toxic environment you just have to be the best version of yourself and ignore mean comments as well as noisy people.

This bullying stuff sounds more like elementary school than high school to me. I was an outcast in elementary school, but by the time I got to high school, the kids had grown up and stopped all of that nonsense by then.

I have felt that as a doctor too. But they do not own the ward, sometimes when a person has been a long time working in a place they kind of feel they own it, but they are hired to work there, just like you, and real and good life starts outside the hospital. Someone said they glamorize nurse profesion, they do glamorize doctor s profesion too. Life is what happens when we don t work, unless you are Elvis, then yes, you are the profesion, outside Elvis all are just means of paying bills whether you work in a supermarket or in court.

Thank you for sharing your experience Alex. I am a student radiographer and I am experiencing some bullying on my placement in the hospital at the moment, recently a senior radiographer started shouting at me in front of her co workers, and in front of the students that I got to uni with. honestly, I felt so embarrassed when she did that I felt like she was showing off. She was behaving as if she was more superior to me when in fact she’s supposed to show me something if I’m making any mistakes while she was shouting at me I walked off and I ended up reporting her to my line manager. Sometimes it’s important that we report these type of people so that they can be taught a lesson that it’s not acceptable to bully people in the workplace.

I got beat up once, like punched in the face over 30 times. The nurses were laughing at me, the sheriff put his feet up in my face while literally suffering the worst pain of my life. Nurses are callous many times. Don't expect anything but prejudice.😢😢

I almost left in my 1st year of nursing. Alot of toxic nurse's in the profession. Appreciate your honesty. It's good to know I am not alone. Really hope the bullies can change.

I was so blessed to get a job at a behavioral health hospital, night shift. They have so much empathy and so much patience. I was terrified because I didn’t know where I was going to work. I didn’t know anything, but I found something I loved and it’s working out so far. Don’t settle for less!!

I appreciate your honesty. I am a current RN student, but I have been a Psychiatric Technician witnessing this and going through this. It's shameful.
