  • The reason your co-workers in the Emergency Department babble inane stuff to each other is it is a coping mechanism for all the brutal self destructive shit they see people do to themselves and to each other.

    I’ve always have such issues working for other employers.

    OP this is a key statement…

    It’s like they believe the talkative ones over me. Why would I want to work for people like that?

    OP you have had this same problem at other workplaces. You don’t feel a need to change your behavior.

    Not wanting to chit chat at work is completely reasonable in some professions, IT, research, laboratory work and so on. ED Nursing is not one of those professions. Nursing is all about executing a care plan as part of a team. Your managers are not believing your co-workers over you, your managers are confirming what you already know about yourself.

    If you do have a disability/special needs you need to get that documented and inform your organization so the organization can create a reasonable accommodation.

    I think you need to some self evaluation and see if there is a speciality of nursing that has limited contact with people.

    I know that there are doctors who spend their days doing nothing but chart reviews. Is that something a nurse can do.

    How does a socially inept, introverted person survive at work?

    They find a profession that a socially inept introverted person can do.
