“I endured condescending behaviours when I started at the hospital. While working at one ward, staff would talk negatively toward me, ignore my questions and leave me to new tasks or areas without any orientation …This led to weeks of bullying behaviour which caused me to eventually leave that ward. I feel the negative behaviours lead to unsafe practices for patient wellbeing and personally I feel unsupported and have lost a lot of confidence. My anxiety has increased to a point where I experience physical symptoms.”
