The bullying, the indirect comments, the blame culture, the hierarchy, the power plays, the favouritism, the nepotism, the fakeness. Nursing is supposed to be a caring profession but sometimes it’s far from it.
Anyone who came in newly qualified with no or little healthcare experience, how are you finding it?
Do you feel like you have adequate knowledge for your role? Do you feel like you’re where you’re supposed to be?
I’m finding it a little challenging. Sometimes I feel like I’m just going through the motions doing tasks and following instructions without fully understanding why I’m doing them. When does it get to the point where you start to understand the full clinical picture, from pre-admission all the way through to discharge?
Does anyone else feel this way?
