I agree with hazelmoo to give it a little bit of time. IME, this is kind of a common thing. It takes some time for newer assistants/techs to become a part of the team, and I feel like it may be pretty common to feel uncomfortable when you first start. I also agree with hazelmoo about people being used to doing something quickly and efficiently. Having to slow down to train someone while you've got doctors and clients breathing down your neck and a clock ticking can be stressful. A lot of people aren't really that well suited to dealing with that kind of situation and aren't so good at teaching or mentoring people. Ideally, your hospital should have at least one or two more senior people who are more skilled in training to help you along, but if they don't, you may just have to give it time and see who you work best with.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being eager, but that can rub some others the wrong way. I'd just suggest that you don't keep questions to yourself because you don't want to look too eager. It's better to speak up and get involved, especially if you're hoping to get a letter from a doctor. Just try your best to relax and be who you are. Try not to take it too personally if they're all tight knit and not so welcoming to you right now. It most likely has nothing to do with you as a person or with anything you're doing or not doing. I feel like in these types of work environments, people bond closely over the stress they experience more than anything else that they might have in common, and that can only happen with shared experiences. In time you'll be sharing those experiences with these same techs, and they'll likely open up to you a little bit and begin to trust you as they get to see your work ethic and your skills.
It can be really rough starting off at a new place. It happened to me with this newer job even though I had a good amount of experience as an assistant. People were sometimes rude and condescending and not so welcoming, but as I got more settled, they started treating me differently. It can be really draining and distracting, but try to hang in there for a little while longer. Focus on the good things and focus on learning. Be positive and polite around people even if they're being rude. Be confident in what you do know how to do but don't shy away from asking questions when it's something you don't know.
And if your training is really lacking, even after some time has passed, consider bringing that up diplomatically with the manager, if there is one, or the doctor, if that's who is in charge of it. Regardless of how the staff are acting, it's the responsibility of whoever is higher up the chain to ensure you have the support you need to do your job properly.
I hope things turn around for you there soon!
