The best thing you can do as a new nurse is endure for a short period, develop your skills, get as much experience as you can without losing your passion or yourself in the process, by that I mean become bitter. Then just be be your own nurse, go where you want, when you want if that's what you want to do. Try to make the most out of each experience take what you can from it, and move on. Live and learn, don't stagnate and wilt. Don't let negative people hold you back or shred your dreams, Infact don't even let them know they bother you, even if you hate them. If they call you at home, don't answer it or at least listen to the message first to see if it's something serious worth your time, and if it's not well they can talk to you back at the office, or worse if they call you when your sleeping, well then their just taking their lives in their own hands, I can't be held accountable for what might be said while I am half awake. Why feed a power hungry monster, food. Leave a message at the tone BEEEEEP:> Trust me, the walls won't collapse when you leave, as they would like you to believe.

I love my job, but quickly found out that I was not there to make friends. Don't get me wrong, I respect many of the nurses that I work with, but you also have the ones that eat their young. I have been a nurse for a little over two years now. When someone new comes onto the floor, I see them as a team player, and that is what I want them to be. It amazes me, that some nurses will not help them out, and act bothered or indifferent with a new nurse, when she/he is in need of something. I vowed when I graduated that I would never forget being a student nurse, and would always respect the up and coming. I will never forget what that felt like, and wish that many would take the time to think about that aspect of it. It is supposed to be all about taking care of our patients to the best of our ability, as a team when needed. It is like every other job. You have some that are in it for the money and some that love what they do. I also graduated from nursing school and went straight to a med surg floor.
