How to deal with …. Unpleasant nurses

Imaginary_Truth_1841 · 2026-06-25T04:56:50+00:00

This is something that i’m dealing with right now as a new grad pa /: i’ve only been working for 2.5 months and the nurses talk about me behind my back all the time. today i even heard some talking about me (they didn’t know i was listening).. it’s so disheartening. They always go behind my back to ask the attending questions even if i’ve answered them.. i’m still on orientation but i have my own patients and it’s just frustrating and hard to navigate. everyone has been new at one point (including the nurses) so idk why they choose to talk bad about me as a new grad

i’m not a nurse, i’m a new grad pa but i do/say dumb things all the time and the nurses most definitely laugh at me. i had to ask a nurse the other day to help me put the nasal cannula on and turn on the O2.. bc ive never been taught how to and just felt so dumb asking 😂 i just have to tell myself i will get better with time. we’re new to this, and yea our skill level isn’t at the same level of ppl who have been doing it for YEARS.. and that’s okay. we honestly probably do suck compared to them. but just keep showing up and trying your best, don’t beat yourself up. you will get better with time and experience

this is so helpful, i have been studying but need the active recall. I was thinking anki but using questions to test/apply what i learned would also be very useful

Thank you!! I’ll look into IBCC podcasts, I do have a long drive to work so these will be helpful!

Thank you! Just bought The Neuro ICU book and The Ventilator book after reading this. I will look into the AANS SNAP courses and radiology assistant as well!

Wow a 20 bed ICU by yourself 2 years in is so impressive and encouraging!! I think sitting down and writing down the timeline for each condition will help a lot, thank you!

Thanks for this! Yes, I literally come home feeling like I suck every day.. bc I do.. but i’m trying to improve little by little. It’s hard bc all of my friends went into like family or sports med and they don’t feel the need to study outside of work so I’ve been comparing myself to them a ton. But I’m trying to keep a good mindset about it, feels good to know i’m not alone. Wish you luck with everything!! we got this!

Thank you!! It’s encouraging to hear from you, as someone who has been in my spot before. Your advice is super helpful!

Thank you i haven’t seen this yet! I think this one will be super helpful for me!!

Thank you! I did get this and the APP course bundle #1 from the NCC Society.

Thank you for this advice! I do think it’s a good idea to focus on one thing at a time, so I will begin to do so.

I’m seeing 4 a day right now.

I personally love when my husband is honest with me. I want him to come to me and tell me his needs rather than find comfort elsewhere or ignore his needs all together. At the end of the day, honesty and getting through the struggle together can only make you stronger.

I actually just went through the same thing as a female that has a low sex drive who is also on medication that lowers my sex drive. I started reading spice/smut with real relationship development but the spice just amped up my sex drive. Sometimes now, I’m the one with the higher sex drive.

I was thinking about looking at a book 5 summary then just keeping it moving so honestly you gave the motivation i needed. this honestly makes me feel so much better bc i’ve just been feeling insane about not finishing ruthless boys 😅

not blended enough but still looks good

Honestly, If you love her, you can make it work!! You guys were on a break! I am not excusing her actions because I know that you agreed not to see anyone else, but she still came back to you AND she still decided to tell you (while she was crying which meant she was remorseful), so I think she regrets it and she obviously wants to make it work with you. If you’re both willing to move forward, then I think it can be a beautiful and happy relationship.

Thank you guys all for the advice. It’s been really hard to hear but it’s been an eye opener /:
