Bumping this because well nursing isn't going the best to be honest.

I love the patients,they're all lovely and I love helping them and talking to them. But some the nurses are just down right bitches. I've been told I don't appear interested enough,that I'm not proactive and I don't do anything without be told to by like 3 nurses. I am fecking trying my hardest,I do what I can and what I am allowed. It's like they what me to learn everything in such a short time and the nurses I'm with don't even think I'm trying and it's frustrated. This is some LOVELY nurse's who are always nice to me but I always get put with ones who never praise me and only give out to me. I forgot a towel the other and the nurse seriously proper ranted at me for a good 5 minutes! It's like if you do 10 things right and 1 thing a little wrong you only get given out about the wrong thing. I feel so stressed and so exhausted and I don't know what to do.

Maybe you could speak to one of the senior nurses about it and arrange for you not to be put with the bitchy nurses again if they're putting you down all of the time.

I hope you get it sorted.

See problem is the senior nurses are pretty bitchy too. Thanks though Matt!

Why is it that they always see when you're not doing anything but never when you're working really hard? Drives me insane.

Thats typical life for you, I know it's hard but it will soon be worth it all. Its just a crap thing you gotta put up with until you are qualified.

What they need to remember is that you're just starting your career in nursing, most of them have been doing it for years and know everything that they have to do.

You'd probably learn more from them if they were being nice and talking everything through with you rather than snapping.
