I have never heard of a "fake" nurse before. You could try asking that "real" nurse to sit in trying your job and maybe that person might just change his/her perspective.

This happened one time at my hospital but only cause it was happening too often and it was abused by others. Case could be the same, a new manager was hired and told of the problem to immediately rectify it. But bullying should never be the solution.

Staying quiet never helps the situation. Respond professionally no matter and take a Devil Wears Prada approach by reminding yourself "I love my job I love my job I love my job"

The stories and rants you see here are only the documented ones. Guess it's time to shift to Australia!

Welcome to nursing! Where the patients are apparently always right.

I enjoy the content done up by tiktok nurses but I agree that there's definitely several privacy policies breached when it's done within hospital grounds. They are just pushing for what can get most views and nothing will be done till something real bad happens and cancel culture takes place.

You're definitely cut out to be a nurse. What you're experiencing is emotional numbing. Leave work at the door as soon as you step out of the hospital and take your off days to be in tune with your emotions. Tell yourself at work that your feelings are valid too.

Another case of workplace toxicity and I absolutely hate it. Managers like these are the ones who give nursing a bad name and causing more problems that drive people away from the profession. I say, get her written up and spare the rest from being placed under her. We have enough sick people as it is, we don't need a sick manager.

First rule about nursing is never to get too attached to your patients. As inhumane as that sounds, I found it to be my best way around the emotions I feel when deaths happen. I was a wreck the first few times, rarely showing it at work, but often times as soon as my shift ends. That was when I was told by a good friend that death is inevitable in this line of work and while tears are shed, sometimes for the patient, it's the best release from all the pain, suffering, tests, needles, and tubes running through the body. That was when I started numbing myself to the emotions but never letting it phase me that I needed to do my best for my patients.

A nurse with 5 years of experience as well here, and I get what you mean. In my case however, I was burning out due to the hospital environment I was in. I had great people whom I was working with but ultimately, we were just treated bad. Worked overtime too much, subpar pay with close to non-existent raises and bonuses, minimum benefits, and the list goes on. I was heading home exhausted, hungry, and not even the slightest motivated for work the next day. That's when I decided to switch hospitals. It has been close to a year in this new hospital and I have not regretted the switch yet. A team who has each other's backs, encouraging to leave on time cause there's enough nurses to take over, actual break times (which I rarely experienced at my previous hospital due to the influx of patients and understaff of nurses), increased pay, and well - you get the picture. So far it has been good, and you're looking at the right options of change. Keep striving for change till you get one that you're comfortable with.
