   Hi friends, I haven't been here in a while and I apologize. This is a great site and I have missed you. For quick reference, I am a Labor and Delivery RNC with 7 years of experience as a nurse, 5 of which have specifically been in L&D. I have don...

   That's what I thought, too, regarding the insecurity. As far as I know, Dr.G's attendings have a hard time dealing with her and, according to my unit mgr, she's had to be spoken to about these unprofessionalism issues before.

   Thank you! I love precepting. Students are cool. Dr. G is not worth my stress, which is why I have been ignoring much of her insolence. It was when she yelled at me in front of others that I knew I couldn't ignore it any longer. She is intent on rui...

   Thank you so very much! It was hard to keep my cool--I have enough feisty Irish blood in my veins that I have to watch my responses to people. I absolutely agree with you in that she is creating a hostile working environment.

   Wow, these are all great replies and have helped me a lot! Yes, I agree with not friending doctors on FB anymore...completely agree. I quit adding them as friends a couple of months ago, no matter how much I like them. I am going to have a chat with ...

   ABQLNDRN replied to ABQLNDRN's topic in Relations

   We are FB friends because up until recently, we got along great. I think you are right about needing to delete her. I've been thinking about doing that. As far as venting goes, she vents everytime she works the floor. It's funny that you mentioned do...

    ABQLNDRN posted a topic in Relations

    Hi everyone, I am looking for thoughts and perspectives about a situation so that I can take the next step in dealing with it. I work with a doctor who has been rude to me and others for about the last month. I tried not to take her rudeness persona...

    Thank you for posting this! What you said was almost exactly what I said to her! :) Thank you for your sentiment on loyalty--I agree with you.

    ABQLNDRN replied to ABQLNDRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Snuggles--thanks for providing clarification on FMLA usage! I certainly understand that a staffing issue is created when people call in FMLA 1 hour before a shift starts (I call in no less than 2 hrs before) but sometimes issues arise that weren'...

    ABQLNDRN replied to ABQLNDRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't anticipate any long-term usage of the FMLA. There is, however, a possibility that my husband will have to have spinal surgery, so it's hard to say. He had surgery on his arm on 8/30...I took the week off after his surgery and have needed to t...

    Our floor has mandatory call, so they are probably having to call in the call-person every now and then when I use an FMLA day. I use 2, maybe 3, FMLA days per month and have only needed to use these days since the end of August.
