Hurt people end up doing the same thing and hurt people as well. It's likely that the nurses are experiencing the same type of abuse you are, but from doctors and hospital administrators. It doesn't excuse how they treat you but it does put the origin of the attitudes into perspective.
Have you considered another shift? Such as a night/early morning shift? I used to have issues with administration/supervising staff who were on the M-F 9-5 shifts and are there to just nitpick and make people miserable so I switched to a night shift and it was a lot more laid back and people that prefer to work nights are often just there to work and not interact much. If you already are on a night shift, have you considered a morning/day shift? Perhaps the personalities will be different and you won't clash so much. Just a thought.
*hugs* regardless.
At work I've seen doctors who do treat nurses like their own personal errand runners/slaves and treat some terribly. I always tell them to treat them better since it's the nurses who do a lot of the work doctors don't want to do for themselves and don't always get the credit they deserve.
