A horrible nurse

Anaclaire · Jan 20, 2003

I feel your pain... vent all you want!!! Thank Heavens we have this site to vent when we need to!!!

You can take comfort in knowing you are a caring person, and that the OR charge nurse must be living a miserable life.... and the DON is miserable because she's unable to do her job completely!

The path of the rightous RN is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil women. Scorned and burned individuals like you mention most always get whats coming to them. Love her. Introduce her to love. But know this person most certainly will get whats coming to them. Amen.

Isn't that a bit sexist.

Amen.

Isn't it amazing how one person can sour an already stressful situation.

I don't have any answers for you. But if you have some legitimate complaints. Continue to put them in writing each and every time they occur. Sooner or later as more complaints are filed, they might be addressed.

Sometimes, I think though in these days of nursing shortages, particular lack of leaders and charge nurses they overlook a lot.

Good luck. Good nurses and patient advocates will prevail in the end. I'm convinced.

What goes around, comes around, sometimes only in our wishes.

You might want to read:

David Weiner's book: "Power Freaks: Dealing with Them in the Workplace or Anywhere," and

Rachel Simmons' book: "Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls" (Though this author mistakenly believes that girls seem to outgrow this as they get older, her descriptions of the phenomenon are right on and all too familiar).

You'll be blessed for the good care you try to give your patients. As for the thorn in your side, pull it out. Don't allow her to make one minute or your day miserable (I know -- easier said than done). Maybe you could try the kill them with kindness routine......but while you're killing her with kindness, keep documenting! :wink2:

:confused: Mario????

Thanks to the earthlings who are so kind here. This "scorned and burned evi woman" RN will kill her ....ok ok, with kindness, whilst writing her up big time. As she has been written up, oh, 5 times this year so far.....She is a true horror.

Thanks again for the support.

What goes aroun HAS to come around sometime!
