Annoying coworker 😣

So, I'm still a new at my workplace. I have two other friends who are nurses, but they're my seniors. Let's call them Senior 1, who's the oldest, and Senior 2, who's the second oldest of the three of us.
Well, I think I'm the youngest person in every department at my clinic... and I'm also a recent graduate.
They're kind and willing to teach me, but I get scolded a lot. They don't hesitate to reprimand me, and I just accept it because I'm still learning and I'm new. Well, I've been working here for a month now, and I've started to get the hang of the workflow. I just do what I can, even though I still make a lot of mistakes sometimes.
I've started to enjoy it a little... Senior 1, when she upset with me, she won't talk to me and gives me a sour look. And for Senior 2... She often scold me in front of other people. Sometimes she accuse me and blame me, too. Sometimes there's a lot of work, and I only have two hands... If I work on one task, will always blame me and ask, β€œWhat about the other tasks?” she even scold me in front of other people and make me feel belittled. Of course, I feel frustrated and sad... I often want to cry right then and there, but I always hold it in, so I cry at home instead. Even when I do my work correctly, sometimes I still get blamed..
Is this normal? Or is it just because I'm new?

nursing sucks like this, one of the things people do is to specialise, go to CCU- cardiac care unit or something. The more important and skilled you are, less likely are people to point out your mistakes, it honestly is never about work, people can be trained with positive reinforcement too. It's about control and fear. Use of humiliation as a tool. Or join some clinic.

I suspect it's a high pressure environment.
Those seniors will be under pressure to ensure things are under control.
Otherwise they get scolded themselves !

Nursing i imagine is like a lot of professions in that efficiency in task completion is regarded as priority on the ward before anything else.
And, sadly, it's easy to take frustration out on the lowest rank rather than accepting responsibility for poor supervision.

Stick at it.
Whether you know it or not you're evolving !
