Sometimes I hear the negativity so much that it becomes contagious and soon I find myself complaining about small things that don't even matter. (I was one of the new grads who couldn't find a job!). I, too complain sometimes and when I catch myself doing it, I just thank God for all He has done for me and where He has brought me from in my life. This is a tough one to answer because I also have co-workers who spend a good amount of time whining about how they hate their jobs. How do I avoid becoming the nurse that no one wants? How did you deal with negativity and bad morale in your place of work? Thanks for your help!
The easy answer is to befriend the ones that aren't.
#MALE VERSION OF NEGATIVE NANCY HOW TO#
I guess my question is not necessarily how to deal with Negative Nancys. Some of them have been in the unit for years and what I don't understand is if they are unhappy, why stay and be stressed out or be jaded? I'm sure this situation doesn't just exist in nursing, but this is my first real job and I've never encountered so many people in a place of work that seem like they hate being where they are. Some have been the opposite and introduce themselves and say something like, "If there's any way I can help you, don't hesitate to ask." I really appreciate those nurses. I greet everyone and try to be conversational but some of them just seem to be very cliquey or hate their lives. I've run into a handful of nurses and aides that have really bad attitudes or just walk around all day like they hate their jobs. While having this opportunity has been quite a blessing, not everything is great. I also like most of my new hire cohorts (for the most part). I've been set up with some wonderful preceptors and supervisors. It's been scary and exciting and fun-just a mixed ball of emotions! I'm learning tons and I've begun taking on more and more patients.
I recently got a job in a very busy med-surg unit. Well, I'm a brand new nurse as the name says. I wish I knew about this site earlier because it could have helped me out tremendously in nursing school. I've finally joined but for quite a while now, I've been enjoying the posts and discussions on this site. Greetings everyone! First, I just want to thank this site for all the good that it does.
