Is this normal or am I asking for too much?Rating: (votes: 0) I feel very uncomfortable working on a unit where people expect each other to do things the way they want, if something is not right or not the way they wants, they talk about it behind other person back Is this how most nursing units are? I'm sorry this is happening to you. It kind of is how lots of nursing units are... Nurses are bullies sometimes, especially if they can get away with it. One thing it is sometimes hard for me to remember as a new nurse is that soooo many things are safety issues. The bed may need to be in a certain place to prevent falls or provide the best lighting... & obviously putting on a heart monitor properly is important because your pt wouldn't be on telemetry if monitoring their heart wasn't important, but the nurse & tech could/should be nicer about it... Unless they've talked with you about it before OR if you avoid asking enough questions. ALWAYS ask how to do something if you don't know how to do it... Do you know how to put on a heart monitor?? (White on the right, smoke above fire, snow over grass, brown between) It's okay if you don't, but ASK someone for help. They may be grumpy & frustrated to stop what they're doing to help you, but it's your job to do what's best for your patient, not make your co-workers like you. Comment: I am sorry to hear that
