TLDR; Should I apply for a job where I love the job but dont feel respected by some of my co-workers?
Background: I'm a new grad nurse in Australia. Its time to start apply for positions in wards for next year and I'm really stuck because there is a ward that I love but I think some of the staff hate me.
Part of our uni degree is over 800 hours of placement and I was lucky enough to get really acute placements. I graduated last year and the new grad program started in early Feb so I've been working as an RN for almost 8 months. I think it works differently in the US where your first year out you have to work underneth someone for ages. That's not the case here, youre autonomous in your work. Some people decided to, or didn't get a position in New Grad programs so they just work on wards as RNs.
As part of the New Grad program we rotate wards. We got held up on our last ward for a few extra months because of covid but started rotating again in June so I've been on my current rotation for 2 months. Its a really specialised area but quite low acuity. A lot of patients are quite young and have no pre-existing medical conditions and the patients who come in dont usually have high acuity needs so the actual work is pretty easy, but interesting.
It's quite a coveted area and the most preferenced after ICU and ED. This area only takes 3 students a year and I got it due to my high interview scores.
Problem:
I love the area! I love the work. I love the patients. I would love to apply for a job there... But I'm really struggling with some of the staff members.
Some of them seem to have no trust in me and think I'm completely incompetent. I dont think its necessarily personal, I think it could just be because I'm a new grad. For example, the other day I had to do discharge paperwork for a patient. Something Ive done atleast once a day since I started work. Sometimes I do it four times a shift. One nurse repeatedly asked me if I knew what I was doing, in a super patronising way. The same nurse told me that I had a patient coming in who had lost a litre of blood and had a cardiac history and then asked repeatedly if I felt like I could handle it or if I wanted her to take the patient. Repeatedly. My last ward was a surgical ward and I did a month in a high acuity cardiac ward as a final year student. This was a piece of cake for me, on my last ward, this would be considered an easy patient. There are other senior staff (the one I was just talking about is fairly junior) who act the same way. Its really difficult for me because my last ward loved me and respected me. They valued my input and knowledge (but I didn't like the field). I'm worried if I get a job on this ward, this will be my life and I just can't deal with it. I'm usually pretty good at getting people to like me but I just dont know how to win these people over. I respect the fact Im just a new grad and have a lot to learn and can learn from them, I always ask for help whenever I need it, I always keep the ICs up-to-date with my patients, I have a great rapport with the doctors, I escalate whenever I need to, my patients LOVE me and go out of their way to tell people, including my NUM, how much they love me. But I still feel like some of my co-workers dont trust me and I dont want to work in an environment where I'm constantly dealing with that.
With my last ward, I loved all the people who I worked with, I just didn't like the area of medicine. I dont know if I'm ever going to find a perfect fit, but can't decide what is a better solution. Working with people I love, but don't enjoy the actual work, or working in an area I love and am passionate about, but struggle with the people.
Any advice would be appreciated.
