DEAR EDITOR:
I am writing this letter with a heavy heart because of what I have witnessed. I am a retired nurse and I was hospitalized recently. I had a fairly well experience but I saw a trend that I didn’t like.
I noticed a few new nurses on the ward and let me tell you these nurses are so polite and attentive. On the other side, I have witnessed them being bullied by the nurses they should be learning from, we call them senior nurses in our practice.
I call it bullying because that’s exactly what it is. I saw the new nurses being talked down to, talked about when they leave for lunch and I think this is unacceptable as nurses.
I have witnessed many mistreatment that’s too numerous to mention because am trying to keep this letter short but am very disturbed by it. I remember one night I over heard 2 senior nurses discussing a junior nurse and calling her slow, which was so unprofessional to be discussing a nurse at the nurses station.
The more experience nurses should be taking these younger nurses under their wings and not trying to show off on them. All of us were once new nurses, no one knows everything and I can see the frustration these junior nurses are going through.
I would also like to know if the ward sisters and other nursing managers are aware of these behaviors. I think this needs to be addressed because we cannot afford to be losing more nurses over ignorance, a great number of nurses are migrating and it seems like they want to run off the new nurses also.
This behavior needs to be stop because I am not the only patient that noticed this behavior, it’s not a good look. Something needs to be done.
