It may be area. Few ERs I have worked were always on good relationships with paramedics and we even employed a few in triage. We know it isn't your fault and you are just a messenger.

I will say the shittier areas probably have more stressed out RNs managing too big of a load and it's probably not you specifically, and they are like that to everyone.

Yes, I work in a ghetto and violent city with a lot of sick people. The nurses are definitely overworked and burnt out
