Who suggested all of this, some kind of jaded ChatGPT trying to enter the workplace?
Any legal probation time is probably in your contract. If you don't have anything in your contract about it, you're probably not going through another probation time.
I don't know why your coworkers will try to find ways not to trust you. I'm no nurse, but that sounds toxic as hell. If this shit would he happening around me, I'd look for a new job.
Changing jobs can mean taking in different responsibilities or doing things differently. Everyone workplace has their own systems. In some places you'll need to do a bit more admin for the same job, in other places there will be a dedicated person to that task.
If you're a nurse and you apply for a nurse position, you'll be a nurse again. You'll do nurse duties and work with other nurses. They're not going to change you into a car mechanic because you changed companies, unless you applied for a car mechanic job. You'll need to meet and work with new coworkers, maybe learn who to talk to to get certain things done, and you'll probably be back doing the same stuff you did before. Onboarding can take anywhere from a week to a year, but within a week you'll probably be doing your old duties, just in a new place.
As for being a perceived as "good" to someone: that's just how people work. It worked like that in school, it works like that in whatever hobby club you visit, it works like that on the workplace. When you come into a group of people, they don't know you, so they don't know how to judge you. You may be the second coming of Jesus, you may be a serial killer, they don't know. Bringing in a piece of paper proving competence and having a few years of experience should straighten that out on most work floors: you're at least reasonably competent and socially acceptable enough to get the job, so you're at least as competent as the most junior member of the team, maybe more.
Unless you own your own business, there will be someone above you in the chain with a certain idea about what you can do and how well you can do it. If you're at a place with many people, someone will be tasked to make sure everyone keeps performing well. That's not to attack you when you're vulnerable, that's to make sure nobody decides to clock in and sit on Lemmy all day while still cashing the cheques. And if you do own a business and hire other people, you will be the one passing judgement instead.
If you feel the need to constantly prove yourself, you either need therapy or your workplace sucks. It's not normal in most jobs. Jobs that do require constant approval often have quotas you're expected to meet that have been communicated beforehand.
