While working as a per diem float pool employee, the full time nurses already have a set mindset about how you will be. You’ll be looked down upon and will always be second to those who work on the unit. As soon as you step into the unit they view you as incompetent. An hour in, when they realize you aren’t incompetent they start warming up to you. It’s draining to go through this every shift. I’m not incompetent please don’t label me as such until you actually work with me. The preconceptions you have of float care partners really needs to stop.
