Old pros treating newbies like garbage just to feel superior. It’s like they’re saying, ‘I was once green too, and I still have nightmares about it.’
My mentor said I ‘looked like I just woke up from a coma’ during my first shift. I left before the shift ended.
I was laughed at for calling ‘penicillin’ ‘penicilin’ in front of the whole floor. I’m still embarrassed.
My nurse called me ‘a disgrace to the profession’ for not knowing how to use the IV pump. I took that as a challenge.
