I think that attitude is a symptom of burnout, either with work or life as a whole. They’ve probably been taken advantage of and let down a number of times and have developed a mindset that good work doesn’t get noticed, people don’t get what they deserve, so why bother?
Not saying it’s justified or healthy thinking. But when they see your attitude they might be saying internally “just wait til you’ve seen what I’ve seen”
Move to ED! YMMV based on the hospital but there’s a lot less butt wiping, meds are rarely refused, family shuts up and listens if the patient is critical enough, security is more available if patients get rowdy. Plus you get fun emergency stuff
