I saw a TikTok about a nurse who started a new job and the person who was supposed to train her wasn’t there and the other nurses completely ignored her and were incredibly rude. She ended up leaving a few hours into the day because of how they were treating her. I can’t stop thinking about it because I had a similar experience early in my career but did not stand up for myself the way she did. What would you have done in that situation?

The very same thing happened to me with my 1st nursing job after graduation. The nurse trainer called in for about the first 3 weeks of my orientation because she had a beef with the manager. I stayed and got what I could from whoever the charge nurse assigned me to. It was rough, but I survived and stayed for about a year and a half. It was tough to get jobs then (24 years ago!) because nursing was saturated and demanded nurses with experience. I compare it to eating soup with a spoon, but I still got to eat!

I am in a similar situation. I retired from a job in x ray that did not keep up with technology and did not use an emr system ( I worked for the state of New York), therefore my computer skills are very poor. I started a new job almost two months ago. One tech will not speak to me. In the light room where we sit to check the computers for orders for patients, she sits with her back to me and won’t speak. We could sit for hours if it’s a slow day. I am 60 years old and these techs could all be my children. I’ve been a tech for 40 years. I know my three daughters would not treat anyone like that but especially not an older person who is struggling with technology but has clinical skills. It’s so obvious that a student said something to me about how uncomfortable she is making me and how she experienced the same thing

Unfortunately, HR doesn’t do anything doesn’t matter how many times you complain they always seem to turn a blind eye to stuff.. I’ve been laid off since January and I’m really thinking that the reason I don’t get hired it’s because I’m in my 50s and I have 30 years of medical experience. You think that would count for something, but I guess it doesn’t. The things that I read to be treated the way people treat other people, it’s unfortunate that these young people now and days they have no respect for the elderly people in the medical field. Pretty sad.

I can completely understand her frustration and why she did what she did. I just hope if she was working in a hospital or long term care that she made sure her patients were safe and reported off to someone with the appropriate title. In Kansas, if you leave after accepting the assignment without coverage, you can lose your license for abandonment.
