As a new nurse tech in a local hospital I found the first few weeks to be hard. Not because of patients but because my new co-workers were so stand offish! It's like a high school. The RN's are the "cool kids" and the nurse techs are the "nerdy kids". I found myself saying hello to people and not getting ANY response! What's up with that? I didn't put up with that for very long. I made it a point to learn names and use them often. I started asking questions and expecting people to answer me. It wasn't long before my new co-workers started to realize that I am a hard worker and eager to learn. I work with a dynamic group of RNs and Techs and I feel like I'm becoming part of the team. That makes it easier to come to work every day. There are still a couple of nurses that I haven't won over-but I will!
