A group of nursing students bullied me, but I’m also targeted everywhere I work or attend school. I take it personally, though… 🤦🏼♀️They made fun of how I talk, walk, dress, and just for being alive.
This video helps tremendously. I was horribly bullied by classmates and teachers. I internalized everything and it eventually lead to self sabotage. I received several academic scholarships. And maintained a 3.9 g.p.a for several semesters . My clinical teacher told me that I was dumb and for some odd reason I believed her. I’m in the process of pulling myself out of a dark place that bullying put me in. Thank you for this.
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Ayana Davis! You will do GREAT! Sorry to hear about your experience. Ayana Davis, remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you, don't give up Ayana Davis. There is ALWAYS a way! 😊 Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
don't forget the bullies, often times, are the nurses you are around in clinicals too. The entire pediatrics floor in my second semester. They took it to the higher level with me and some other fellow students. ultimately, i used them as a learning tool, of what not to be when it's my turn to have students follow. They didn't realize it, but, they were one of the best tools I could use and it cracks me up, because they thought they had power.
Sorry to hear your experience wasn't as positive as it could have been, but it sounds like you made the most of the opportunity and had a lot of growth out of it anyways, Jennie Westforth! You will do awesome! Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
I just wanted to say thank you for this particular video because I have been experiencing horrible bullying from mostly everybody in my class even some of my teachers except for maybe one person so I do feel alone sometimes while most of the time but I have come to the conclusion of the things that you have said and I went up in that out and it has chilled out a lot so I'm able to focus more on what I'm doing but it was a horrible distraction that I was not ready for I'm a 50-year-old nursing student initially I'm a CNA and going in and there are LPNs who think they know everything and I'm just a CNA who blurts out the wrong answer majority of the time and then when I do blurt out a right answer I get a whole bunch of whole homes and oh my gosh so that's a little disheartening but I'm getting better at it and I just want to say thank you for your message because it does help it lets me know that I'm not alone and for me to keep forging forward, 💜
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Michelle EDWARDS-SCANTLEBURY! You will do GREAT! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
I like this video! When it comes to bullies, I just walk away and not waste my time! I refuse to give that individual power over me! I just keep moving forward. Not everyone is this world will like you. That's Ok. Life is too short to be bothered by negative & toxic people! 🌹
Insightful, artiiculate, and wise nurse! Definitely would like to work with you! Nurses, and particular females nurse can be the worse in terms with bullying. Thankfully at the stage of my career where I am can work independently. And no, I know not all female nurses are like this. Keep up great posts.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences before and after nursing school. You are awesome. There are always going to be negative people, but they are not relevant. Keep it going!
Aww you're so sweet!! Having all of those experiences were really powerful for me and helped me grow so much. I'm so grateful for this community and what we've been able to build here. God is good!
I needed this video like 7 months before the bullying got so bad that it resulted in me getting temporarily pulled from the program. D: I go back Tuesday though, so will be referring to this often. Thank you!!!
Thank you for being such a blessing! 💖I love all your helpful tips, easy explanations, and all your positivity. I start nursing school in August and you have already given me such hope and peace. My favorite is you telling us “to be the nurse that God created us to be” This hit my soul and will be my driving reminder for all my future journeys! Thank you! And right back at you… You be the Nurse and Our Saving Grace that God created you to be! Thank you again and God Bless You!!💝
In the beginning of nursing school I befriended a fellow student who seemed nice. By the second year things changed. I don’t think I noticed it at first. She was telling me a fellow student was talking about me and I said wow I can’t believe how fake she is and then told the girl what I said but not left that she told me the girl was talking about me. She would make fun of a girl and smile in her face that and when I was going to send that girl a study guide she told me not to because the girl never helps us. When I approached her about this she denied it all like she never did any of it and tried to act like I was crazy and hearing things. Now since I confronted her both of the girls she talked about and made fun of follow her around and purposefully exclude me. It’s like the movie mean girls. It is frustrating knowing that someone can lie and be so mean. I don’t know how to handle this. I dread clinical. It started to make me think there was something wrong with me. I am nice, I go out of my way to help anyone who needs it… I don’t know why it’s happening or how to stop it. I’m really depressed.
You know your journey best, Rose E. Remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you, don't give up Rose E. There is ALWAYS a way! 😊
I be friended a girl during orientation and up until now I thought she was my friend …only for her to laugh at me during skills lab in a very destructive and degrading way when I did my skill wrong 😮you would think she was the instructor and even my instructor wouldn’t laugh at any student ..in as much as she apologized this action hurt me and I won’t let her near me anymore because I won’t let her opinion /insecurities spoil my time at school
I just want to tell you that I think you are a blessing. It's wonderful having a dedicated cheerleader in your corner and your tips and hacks do work, not to mention all the information on the SOS website. Keep doing what you're doing, my friend. I wouldn't have made it this far had it not been for you! ( and the team) Sending much love!
I had surgery few years ago. I woke up in the recovery room with 4 female nurses hovering over me giggling and my gown lifted up to my chest. I kinda sat up a bit, I guess they realized I was starting to come to it, one quick pulled my gown down and the other 3 left the room right away. I had a female nurse tell me once, a local TV anchor had surgery, word spread throughout the unit among the female nurses and female employees. So afterwards while he was still sedated from anesthesia, like 30 or so female nurses took turns shuffling in, I'm guessing the recovery room, and lifted his gown up. They thought it was HILARIOUS to sexually degrade him while he was unconscious. 30 or so nurses and NOT ONE had a conscious to stop it or report it? Kinda refutes the argument of it being just a few bad apples or its SUCH a small percentage of female nurses that do this stuff. And even the female nurses who dont partake in this sick n twisted female nurse ritual of sexually assaulting innocent defenseless unconscious male patients under anesthesia but turn a blind eye to the ones that do are JUST as complicit, they ABSOLUTELY would report it if it were male hospital employees doing this to unconscious female patients but they ignore it because its being done to male patients by females. I could go on and on and on and on with stories. I know female nurses HATE talking about this. They would rather ignore it and continue to let our sons, fathers, brothers, husbands, favorite uncles, our best friend's sons, nephews, etc continue to get sexually assaulted by female nurses at hospitals. I just think its narcissistic and selfish for female nurses to complain that their fellow female nurses bully them, meanwhile they turn a blind eye to those same bully female nurses sexually assault their unconscious male patients they are paid to look after
@@glindabustamante447 thank you, I appreciate it. Just know this happens to A LOT of guys. Including male loved one of YOURS. Your brother, son, father, your best friend's sons, husband, nephews, etc. Having a few female nurses say they are sorry is one things, but I would obviously rather female nurses put a stop to this and start reporting the ones that sexually assault unconscious male patients. That would be more productive.
Awesome advice total game changer. Its definitely not easy when someone doesn't like you but everything happens for a reason those people aren't meant to be in our lives anyway I always believe that. Like you said its out of our control. Love your channel your doing well don't let anyone take that from you:)!
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, Alicia Sings 4 God! 😊 We LOVE hearing how our resources helped you feel more confident in your knowledge! Hope you have a fantastic day, Alicia Sings 4 God. 😀
Christina, you are so inspiring! Thank you for being so upbeat and positive. I have to admit that sometimes/often (who am I kidding) I allow things people say affect me negatively. I'm trying to change and stay positive. It can be difficult, and I'm glad I've realized that if something is bugging me more than it should, I'm probably tired. :P
Sheree Campeau, this can be so hard. Try to focus on what you can control and what you can do. Be VERY upfront and open in communicating with your instructors, and keep record of it. You CAN make this happen, keep the faith!
Kirk Kelley, communicate your concerns to faculty in your program if you feel you cannot communicate them to the clinical instructor or site specifically. Stick with the facts, and communicate your concerns.You are doing better than you think you are!
Been there done that , all the way up to BRN. They protect their own at community colleges like CABRILLO . She was CAUGHT and they swept it under the rug. I tutored half the class in Anatomy. 164 units, a 3.4. for NADA.
Krizia Elora F, you should be proud of how you did. This is your story and you know it best. Remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you! There is ALWAYS a way! 😊

Don't give up, Anyone Anyone!! You matter and what you are doing matters, don't let anyone discourage your passion!
Same how do you deal with this ?im so sorry to hear 😢I’m being bullied to by someone I thought was a genuine friend in nursing school

You give good advice. One question what do you do when all faculty stick together even if it's wrong?
Sheree Campeau, this can be so hard. Try to focus on what you can control and what you can do. Be VERY upfront and open in communicating with your instructors, and keep record of it. You CAN make this happen, keep the faith!
Try going "UP the Ladder " when it's your Clinical Instructor, and she's stealing opiates, riiiiiight.
Kirk Kelley, communicate your concerns to faculty in your program if you feel you cannot communicate them to the clinical instructor or site specifically. Stick with the facts, and communicate your concerns.You are doing better than you think you are!
Been there done that , all the way up to BRN. They protect their own at community colleges like CABRILLO . She was CAUGHT and they swept it under the rug. I tutored half the class in Anatomy. 164 units, a 3.4. for NADA.
The word bully needs to be replaced with the word narcissist because this is the real issue behind work place bullying and jealousy in nursing.
B L you CAN do this! You are doing better than you think you are!
Oh wow! I can't believe I missed this video! I thought it was an old one!
Hope it helps!! Thanks for being here, Loni Kaloni!
Girl, good or bad attention gets you views. The more views you have, the more recognizable you are.
