How to deal with workplace toxicity as a Nurse
There is nothing worse than a toxic workplace. A hospital can be so amazing and it can be your dream job but a toxic work environment will have you wishing you never took the job in the first place.
I, unfortunately, have experienced toxic environment. I loved the job and most of the co-workers. There were just a few of them that made working their horrible.
Here’s some tips on how to handle a toxic work place:
- Remember that it is not your fault. I would go through my day to day wondering what I did wrong and why this was happening to me
- Don’t let them get to you, that is what they want. For some reason seeing a negative reaction and reacting at all to their actions is what they look for. So try your best to not engage.
- Escalate. You need to report their behaviors so they know they can’t get away with it. I regret not reporting them to HR. That’s why HR exists to help you with issues like this.
- If all else fails, find a new job. It is not worth stressing, crying, and putting yourself through a toxic work environment when there are so many jobs out there. Do yourself a favor and find one of those jobs and leave
