Nurse Bullying Really Sucks

I swear working in the hospital as a nurse is like being back in high school. Theres drama, gossip and bullying. These are just my experiences as a nurse and some tips so hopefully you never experience this!

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

[AdvancedNursesEdConsultant]

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

[neldormiveglia]

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

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.

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

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

[georgemartyn]

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

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 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.

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.

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???

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!!!

[sabrinavang]

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

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

[Sarcastic]

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

[misstmf]

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

[Athandatu]

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

[MarkyMarkLifts]

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