Be friendly, but don't be friends. That's always my motto. I'm sorry that happened, and I wouldn't be outright cold because these don't sound like people I would trust to not go and tell management that you're being rude/cold. But I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to engage or be friendly beyond formalities and politeness.
Withdraw from them as much as possible. Communicate what needs to be said and leave it at that. No small talk, no chit chat, nothing that isn't directly related to your work. Sending a big middle finger to these people. I hope karma comes back to bite them.
Yikes, that doesn't sound like a good environment to be in. I would just keep your distance. Go to work, do you job, and then go home. Nothing more, nothing less.
I agree. I learned many years ago that your coworkers are not your friends. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. But in general, keep your coworkers just as that. Your coworkers. Be the best that you can be, always kind and respectful, but at the end of your shift, clock out and go home to your real life.

Well, what I’ve learned throughout the years as you cannot trust not one single person so just take it as a lesson learned
I would look for a new job.
Work. Get your paycheck and don’t engage. If they do anything, write up a factual observation with date/time/specifics of what was send and go relay that to HR.
maybe they misunderstood your intentions or maybe some are sensitive. Did management tell you what they considered weird? Other than that, don't mind them, you go to work to get paid not make friends. Just focus on caring for your patients and the right people will befriend you. I am sure you're doing great.
Looks like the mean girls club there. They are not happy you are not falling in their line of the role they are trying to assign to you. I get that. Best to move on.
U want a remote job?
I do! I’m a RN
Only say enough to answer their questions if asked, keep it simple and short and be curteous with a smile. They are NOT your friends they are co workers. You don't have to like them nor do they need to like you. The less they know about you the better! Get thicker skin....
I have not worked in the medical surgical hospital environment but I have worked in many other specialties. And I have been in the nursing field (RN) since 2003. Fellow nurses are never your friends especially those that have been in the field for awhile. My suggestion would be to have the least amount of interaction as possible with your coworkers. Focus solely on your work. and nursing duties. And that should give you plenty to do. All communication with other team members should focus on patient care and nothing else. Save your friendliness and communication for your patients they need it. You are there for your patents not a bunch off catty nurses who take some kind of sick enjoyment in making someone's day miserable. One suggestion I have is maybe in the future look into (private duty) homecare nursing so that you get out of this type of toxic environment. Although hospital nurses are paid well it is a high stress environment. More so than other area of nursing.
Nursing is definitely the job that eats their young. Then complain about being short staffed. I always say don't give away too much of yourself.
Be professional with colleagues but keep conversation work related on a need to know basis only. Learn everything you can to improve your skillset so that you can continue to move forward. I have worked at every level in healthcare, and nurses, in general, are some of the cruelest, diabolical, insensitive people to work with. It blows my mind that they selected a profession that is supposed to take care of people, yet they treat each other like cow manure. Consider yourself lucky that the rats revealed their true nature because you no longer have to waste another moment worrying about what they think of you. What matters now, is providing good care to your patients and eventually, finding a new work setting that is aligned with your values and also makes you feel safe.
Well, I’m very new to nursing, 8 months in. However, this is my second career. I’ve learned a long time ago and I stick by it to this day. “I go to work to work, not to make friends!” I be polite and professional, help when asked…but ultimately, I mind the business that pays me, I clock out at the end of shift, and go home.
Mean bullies!
