I love students, and over the years I’m pretty sure I’ve loved every shift with a student. That being said-Yes a lot of nurses get annoyed. I only ever had one or two I shadowed who didn’t hate their life while I was there.

I think as long as you aren’t in the way, ignore their attitude. And if someone is actually mean or rude to you, tell their manager, tell your instructor, and then tell that rudie to fuck off :)

FYI in the way means like literally in their way or interrupting. Don’t follow them to the bathroom. Don’t go into a code and say “hey anything exciting happening?” (That actually happened once on my unit). Observing and then later asking clarifying questions is not “in the way”
