    Nursing school in general is cliqueish I always tell people to make allys not friends. It’s the perspective that you take don’t let the environment dictate your experience. Racism is alive and well. It’s definitely more a political environment than we admit.

      @@salexismechelle That is the culture because we aren't in our own environment. Honestly even in some environments that are ours it is still a similar level of toxicity. I always tell people to keep their head on a swivel dot all of your I's and cross all of your T's and keep it pushing from there. All personal information stays personal and I live in the south so I grew up with the concept of doing twice as well just to be looked at as half as good so I am used to the nature of these environments. This is really where Code switching comes in. Work and School are never the places to be your authentic self. When you own your own then you can be who you are and set the tone otherwise keep it cute and keep it pushing.

    I did confront her in her office and asked her Jennifer Brimberry are you racist because people including myself think that you are treating people of color different compared to white students
    She started crying and apologized
    I told her that I don’t accept her apology but moving forward I don’t want to deal with it again otherwise I will sue her and the school

    I heard mean girl nurses usually work in hospitals and nursing homes bc their narcissistic personalities are drawn to weaker people who cant take care of themselves and they take out their toxicity on them bc they are defenseless. Im going into luxury nursing movie set, mespas, platic surgery, dermatology, disney resorts, overseas nursing etc bc thats where my heart is. Anybody working at a hospital or nursing home acting like that is blazing a negative trail that will follow them and eventually itll catch up to them but by them youll have a position somewhwre highwr than theirs and happy af❤
