Nurse Bullying & How to Avoid Workplace Drama!

[@TheDanielleDenise]

Have any of you experienced nurse bullying or lateral problems in the workplace? If you don't mind sharing feel free to share how you overcame that!

[@nicola3060]

This video is spot on. I had my cna , got into nursing school while my son was a baby I was only 19 ! I was so proud and excited . Block 1 was great . Cue block 2 . Cue meeting nurses who hate you , themselves , their patients. Not for me . Waited to the next spot . Same stuff. Nurses who hate their life. I decided to leave . If that was my future in away ( becoming it or working with it ) I didn’t want it . I’m still a cna now . I get my happiness from taking care of my patients, being gentle and slow with them ( I work in rehab ) I love bedside care and I wish people who see a great cna don’t insist they go to nursing school. You guys keep encouraging all there compassionate cnas into nursing where they get wrecked but the hold military style shit that’s is nursing now .

[@pastorfeliciadavis132]

Prayer and I don’t mind speaking up. Cause I went thru hell in nursing school and I was already a LPN. I was determined after rn school that it was mines God ordained me to be here and no devil in hell will take it from me

Nurse bullying has existed since the early years of nursing. Bullying is just a symptom of a narcissistic personality disorder and the narcissist is more likely to lack the critical thinking skills required in nursing and they cannot be trusted with patient care or record keeping. As a retired supervisor, it’s been my experience the narcissist nurse creates the most friction in the workplace and require closer supervision than the average worker. Too many people tend to confuse arrogance with intelligence.

Workplace bullying will never end

[@viviandaviss]

Yup, this is in every job doesnt matter the profession. Heck the most drama filled job I had was at Taco Bell. I would argue that female dominated fields are the most toxic though.

[@imdifferent7294]

@@viviandavissYes definitely female dominated fields!!!!

[@marys3738]

I've always been told that I'm too kind and polite. I have never seen it as a problem until I started working in a hospital. Nurses are freaking rude. No matter how sweet and nice you are to them. Now I'm working on not being too nice and not smile too much at others.

[@ms.mtruth6169]

Don’t let people change just set stronger boundaries

[@laurenmaxwell9420]

I was told the same. Keep being you!!!! Don't take no ish but keep being you. Your patients need YOU

[@Amanda-zd7ei]

Same I am trying to stop smiling as much

[@modernkhajiit]

Finally girls are saying it loud. It doesn't matter how many times you say "sorry" or "thank you", if they have decided you are the devil, they will continue to bully.

[@msfredijr]

Happened to me last night. Mind you, you and I look very similar even down to the personality and presence, except I’m older lol. Just those characteristics alone throw A LOT of people off. I’m as sweet as I can be until I’m not. I’ve had to start paper trails (emails) in order to demand the respect everyone is due. Last night they played themselves short. They just don’t know, they’ll hurt themselves trying to hurt me. We are out here and we will not be mishandled. We are all supposed to be here for the same purpose.

[@TheDanielleDenise]

Thank you so much for sharing you're experience. It is so disappointing that we even have to go through this! And I totally agree with you! I hope it get better for both of us and anyone else like us! It needs to stop!

[@jennyclementemelo7619]

I just can't wrap my head around this long-time issue! It will get better ladies with people like you, and your sympathy more will follow, I myself been wanting to be a nurse…Changes will come for the well-being of yourself and those who you care for! Keep it up! Thank you ladies for what you do:)

[@ruth_a_r.n.2753]

Nurses need to be kind to each other as well as uplift the profession of nursing!

[@joycewatt8289]

Exactly!

[@PinkYellowGreen2023]

Its hard to stop it when nurses play like they dont know what abuse of power, incivility, or bullying is. Nurses can't keep denying this huge problem in nursing.

[@triciaworld]

Facts

[@kristinanicole6778]

Bullying in general is just a huge projection of that toxic person and their personal issues. I’m still learning to stick up for myself. I am pleasant, professional and kind as possible. Work should be a place of team work not a take down place!

[@yankeesuperstar]

male nurse here for apprise 20 years; I'm good at what I do and enjoy my patients however, by far the biggest challenge has been the rudeness and bullying of nurses themselves.

[@wendydemas7019]

I have experienced bullying as a nurse. I don't think I have a strong personality like you but I have tried to speak up for my self and I even reported the bullying but nothing ever happened. The thing is alot of times management tend to favor the bullies. There were other nurses who seen the bullying but chose to look the other way. Nurses need to support each other and respect each other. We need to stick up for one another. Alot of times that does not happen. Sometimes the only option is to leave. We should not sacrifice our mental health. Great video. I agree with you 100%. We need to end nurse bullying.

[@adennega556]

4:55 girl you gave me a flashback to my labor and delivery rotation and this nurse straight up walked away from me and said, go be with that girl over there! Didn’t tell me who or what she looked like. Some nurses are pathetic smh.

[@Melons-vg8dq]

Hand-off report should be taped. Managers should spot check for bullying. Nurses will be mindful.

[@cnkis]

I find that just hyper focusing on my patients and patient care all the social issues just melt away. Sorry, all of that happened to you ❤

[@JordanMorales-kx1vp]

Thank you for this video. I needed to hear this. I’ve been bullied the last 6 months by coworkers because being pregnant there are certain procedures I cannot perform (the chemicals involved). It has truly left me at my breaking point.

[@hycentmaduforo2657]

[@maryannconed4484]

Well I've taken nclex exams for the second time now and didn't pass, I wonder how does who sucesseded did it

[@nelsonrichard1568]

Nclex exams won't bother you or be a problem if you work with someone like Mrs Sophia

[@evanjones1502]

Mrs Sophia is obviously the best after studying her questions and answers just for 3 days the materials she provided was exactly what came out on my test day.

Please can someone help reach Mrs Sophia

I work for the airlines and have seen the cattiness, and the bullying my whole career here. Ive done this for hmph....19yrs now. Its discouraging, and emotionally distressing. Ive thought about walking away from this crap ive endured for 19yrs and not give two craps about it! And still feel this way. Its sad this is all over corporate america. Mine as well just look to work remote!

[@specialkids5110]

I love that earned part. Turn off music while listening to them but never contribute a word. This has helped me alot at my place of work as an RBT. Thanks for sharing

Also, may I just add, in my mind when other coworkers are being rude in my mind im just like “And, don’t check me, B****, check the air quality.” 😅

[@DPique]

Great tips thank you!

[@kaylahood1000]

I’m a teacher and I am thinking about becoming a nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️ but the process of getting into nursing school it’s a bit much and pressure I am taking my intro to anatomy and physiology for the third time yep. I enjoy working with kids. I have been thinking about being a school nurse or pediatric. If not then I may find something else to do.

[@modernkhajiit]

The only thing that changes the situation and helps is the boss/head nurse that will protect you. There is nothing else that can help. It doesn't mean someone has to make an argument for you - it's about not letting this situations to happen and recognize the bullied one.

Preaching!!!!!

[@cherylrajewski3390]

I am curious why the hospitals themselves do not address this. Yes, people can report others but they need to improve moral between workers and between RN's and the other depts they interact with. For the reasons you had I did not go into nursing because the last thing I wanted was to be stuck on a unit and bullied. So I went into respiratory therapy but guess what? They bully and gossip as well!!! Also some RNs treat the RTs horribly and I am sure it is vice versa. For me I found the younger preceptors the hardest to work with, the older ones were very chill and easy going. The young ones are the ones that gossiped and talked behind other RTs backs. Our instructors did warn us to not gossip or engage in any conversations because these same people will write reviews on us. As a student you can't speak up because usually the hospital will back up the employee not the student and then the student can be kicked out of the hospital. I was told it is best to just nod and kept your mouth shut because no matter what you say they might perceive that you are getting smart with them and they have the power to complain about you. Needless to say after my experience in the hospitals I am looking to get into sleep studies so I can work independently. I do like the idea of wearing ear pods with no sound that way no one will tend to pull you into any rumors that you knew or were part of a gossip situation.

Hey Denise I want to personally talk to you! Can I call you. I need friendly professional advice

[@nicecatholicgrl]

Nursing is brutal competitive and down right at times shameful. Honestly it trickles down from adim and the don.and the adon.if they are cold and don't care for the staff then it will be an unhappy work place and no one more or less gets along ! The do have clicks like high school . I found if you just go to work do your work and don't talk unless you have to it should go pretty smooth . Even after proving you are more then capable things can get ugly if you piss of the ones that seem to be favored alot of nurses get fired for pettiness!! I called it nursing politics . And if a facility gets bought it's even worse cause then the new.adm. likes to bring their favs from another facility! And slowly remove the staff that worked hard to earn their spot! I always taught my trainees when this happens if you can survive 6 to 9 mths after them your good to go! Really sad isnt it??!! Nursing has such a high turn over rate it's crazy . At one point I did pediatric vents in home I loved it . But after I had my fourth child Hilary clinton dablled in some of the insurances that covered disable kids and a lot of hours and people got cut! So I was agency when I did that . I figured I could pick up a few.hours.here and there at facilities if I need extra xmas.money etc I quickly learned agency nurses were not like!! Here we are trying to keep a place from being super under staffed and we would get crapped on even.more other nurses didn't like answering your questions yet literally would try to write you up for looking sideways!! I only did that very very short term at as.for extra money. As I was single.mom. nursing is a very very stressful life ! You literally have to do it for the love of the patients . Mean daily you could be yelled at and spit on by family members for little things called horrible names and so on and the patients sometime do the same thing!! So why would someone go to a job like this day after.day!!??? Because there were families that treated you respectfully and we're thankful you cared for their lived one or even the family just taking time to listen to them. And other cnas and nurses would help you if ya just asked! And the patients that we're thankful even just for fluffing their pillow ..it's all worth it! I had to retire back in 2011 .do I miss it ..yes but I would chose a diff job in nursing. Or maybe go into ultrasounds but I deff couldn't be a R.N again..sad but true I was in a bike wreck and almost lost my left leg and also a 2 ND wreck almost immediately after I was recovered from the bike. Wreck and my back was broke in six places ..I was in a med can when.,it happens and that was the end of a 22 yr career . Again I do miss it ..but I would not be able to do that job now .my advice to new nurses don't work extra if you don't have to. Stick to normal work week and I'm not saying be a recluse but stick to your job unless asked to help extra . And put away money so that if you get burnout you can take a break and then go back to nursing either way just treat yourself well as a nurse !
