Regrets leaving my old job and starting new in L&D

Post Body

I am on orientation in L&D, about 2.5 months in and I’m just not loving it as much as I thought. I came from med surg and mother baby background and I loved mother baby. I left mother baby due to some work politic issues and the union sucked, but I loved my coworkers, I love the night shift and the babies. Being a part of their recovery before going home with their newborn. But L&D is a whole new monster, I am catching up fine and I’m not doing horrible on orientation, and I am always motivated to learn new skills but I dread going to work and I get a lot of pre-work anxiety. The nurses are nice, a bit cliquey but nice overall, I am noticing a pattern of unfair assignments and favoritism. There are certain nurses that always get the shit assignment or always get admission after transferring patient to postpartum, and some nurses get no assignment and sit around chatting all day. Also the scrub techs are just miserable, today was my first shift orienting to scrub and honestly, I hate it. The scrub techs would humiliate me in front of everyone in the OR. I have no background in the OR but I’ve never been talked to or yelled at like that. Some of the doctors here are assholes too, yelling at nurses. The environment just seems so toxic to me, and it’s sad because I came here hearing a lot of good things about this unit. Idk what to do, should I speak with my nurse educator about possibly transferring to mother baby?
