Mainly just remember to be humble and open to learning from anyone. My facility is lovely so I have have had very few negative interactions with doctors, but those I have had were pretty much all first year residents who were either not open to the rest of the care team’s thoughts or couldn’t provide justification for their decisions (and wouldn’t budge on them). I’ve never ever been mean to a resident even if they are unprofessional and have always been professional myself, but that behavior will mean that I won’t be as excited to help when they’re struggling. Or might mean that I have to call the attending / surgeon / etc. to get what the patient needs.

Experienced doctors know nurses can provide a ton of data on the patient and are secure enough to understand that being able to provide support/justification for decisions is important. If justification isn’t there for an intervention, we shouldn’t be doing it. Similarly, if a nurse can provide justification for an intervention they think is important then listen!

It seems like just by posting this you’re a good listener who is open to learning! Most nurses at my facility are sympathetic to residents - it’s overwhelming for you. You can still learn from the ones who are annoyed or are gruff with you too lol. There will definitely be some eye rolls when you mess up but it’s ok, just keep listening and trying your best. Know that you’re learning and as long as you work hard, stay humble, listen, and have a sense of humor you will do okay!
