Hello mylotters!
I just want to share. I feel so sad that my friend will be leaving because she needs a job with a salary. I and my friend are currently working in a government hospital as nurse trainees(volunteers). It means, we are working in hospital without pay or salary. My reason for working there in hospital is to upgrade my basic skills and have an experience. But my friend has financial problem that she had to go out from that hospital and find another job. My mother won't allow me to follow my friend because my mom wants me to practice my basic skills since I am newly registered nurse just this JULY 2011. I feel so sad because my friend is leaving and I am not comfortable with the old staff nurses there because they treated us unkindly. Three of the old staff nurses there once snobbed us after we are asking their assistance to perform a certain nursing procedure. I have no choice but to stay in the hospital and support my friend's decision. I feel sad for now, I'll be alone and I know I have to adjust:'(...

If old staff are doing that to new nurses, then I don't think staying there will help you get the skills you wanted. I too don't know be left with staff I am not friends with or those snobbish one who thinks they're superior than you just because they've been there before you came.
But of now, since you can't decide on your own yet. Be there and work independently and stay nice with the old staff until you get a good job in another hospital. Try to send out your resume, maybe you'll get a call.

hello enelym!
you're so pretty;-). yes, you're right. How can I learn if those seniors will keep on snobbing us? But I will try my best to respect them and do my job carefully by reviewing my notes. Sometimes, I want to ask but whenever I remember their attitude, I feel like I don't want to ask them. I know this is a challenge for me. Thank you enelym.! happy day!

Thanks for that wonderful compliment, I am not so pretty, believe me
That's a good decision for now, give them respect as they want it. Don't be scared to ask let them be rude to you they will soon realize how evil they are to you once they learned to like you.

I think the best thing you can do for yourself, is try to adapt even if you are alone. I had the same experience but I did my job quite well that the overall supervisor noticed my effort and recommended it to those who were snubbing me. Try to review your notes too if you find you are having problems in doing those procedure and you will success.

You will have to adjust to these kinds of events. People come and go and you should be making friends all the time so that when you are in trouble, someone will come to assist or help you. Hopefully you can adapt to the new environment after your friend left the hospital.

If you are friends, real friends distance is no problem
You should be happy your friend found a job. Everybody needs a salary. It's hard to feel happy if you have nothing to spend.
The feeling of loneliness is inside of you. You spend before 24/24 of all the hours with your friend?

I salute you because you work and serve others without demanding for salary.That's a good deed.:)
Yeah.It is very hard when friends leave.It is even harder when they leave us alone in a harsh place like where you belong now.
Don't worry.Time runs so fast.Someday you won't even know you are already walking out of that hospital for a new and better job.
Good luck.:)

Hi greninee, its ok to be sad. Afterall we are stil humans. Lol
There are always time that we need to meet new friends. And left old friends for a new beginning.
Eventhough your collegue now is snob, try to win them, have a lot of patience to
Adjust on the situation. Always be there to support and someday you
Might win their support to you.

It's very hard to adjust, when you have no one to support you. But don't get discouraged, things will get better. You just have to trust your skills and try to prove everyone that you are worthy of working there. They will appreciate your perseverence, I am sure. And you might become friends with some of them too, in time. Best of luck!

Hello there. I think all people will really need to leave. By the time, you'll be doing that too. You'll understand why they need to leave. They need to go to have job and earn money for the family or for her future needs. It's natural. People come, and people go. Just remember that people leave but they will surely come back. Even if not very soon, but they will always come back.
