8. Stop being “too cool” for others.
We all know we’re going to have our personal cliques at work, but seriously, isn’t it time we put the “nurses eat their young” saying to rest? If you’re a new nurse, for God’s sake, ask for help. The other nurses have plenty of experience; they’ve most likely been there, done that. By the same token, if you’re a seasoned nurse, don’t just stand there and smile at that know-it-all newbie when she’s struggling. Offer some assistance. Be nice to her. You were the newbie once upon a time.
