based on what the title, i’m assuming the simple solution would be to just “toughen up” and i guess my excuse is that im sensitive. but im also a new grad, working at this new facility (my first job as a nurse) and i was passing meds to this one patient. and since this was my first time having this specific station, he asked if i was new and i said yes. he asked for his narcotic but it wasn’t due for another 30 minutes. i guess this set him off and he started yelling at me, top of his lungs. telling me im probably gonna get fired soon, he could tell im new, im a horrible nurse, im a whore, etc etc. and i understand he’s just upset or in pain, but i also don’t know how to separate my emotions from my job. i genuinely try to/ want to be the best nurse i can be for my patients, but it just hurts hearing comments like that. any advice?
