Big issues at work

I live in fear of this type of scenario. Okay, I don't truly (and I've never had it happen to me) but what I mean is when I hear of stories like this my first thought is get away from these people. There is little way to defend oneself when there is a group willing to substantiate each other's lies or pile on with complaints and concerns. 
 

Not wrong to report these people but the idea that Corporate might do something  is little consolation. Whatever it is (if anything) it is not highly likely to be effective or without backlash. 
 

Hate to be Debbie Downer but if it were me I would have a backup plan. 

I recently did four LTC shifts after being out of nursing for a little bit, for an agency. All I can say is, you LTC nurses are amazing. I can't handle it. The workload is crushing, especially with the increased burden of making the computer happy. 

Now the agency has set me up with a really sweet occupational nursing gig at an agricultural plant. I'll be able to combine it with fishing and my semi retirement activities in the area. I don't think I'm a strong enough person to do LTC. And when you have a terrible management like you describe, catering to out of control personalities who are leaving negative reviews online, that is a recipe for disaster. Get out of that place now!

The resident that "hates" you likely has dementia, so their cognition is not 100%.  Experienced management would know this is true of many LTC residents.

This place now sounds like a nightmare, so strongly urge you to start looking for another job.

Good luck.

It's been my observation over these many years that some people who are given positions they perceive as powerful get carried away with it.  It doesn't matter if they're an LPN, RN, BSN, or anything else.  It's sad, anger provoking and certainly does nothing to improve resident care. 

You need to write down all the negative interactions and names and dates you've had we these coworkers so you have proof when you talk to upper management. My old boss was like that and she gave preferential treatment to her friends. She finally left thank god. But if I were you, I'd start looking for employment elsewhere. 

If a resident hates you, remind them they have the right to refuse and have it done by another RN or the next shift.

Sorryif that means enemas have to be switched to days?

Great advice already on here but I want to add that HR is not an ally in most cases they protect management and the company. I agree about looking elsewhere. If you can leave this toxic situation do it. Considering these people are new this is all going to get much worse before any of it gets better.

Good luck and best wishes.

Agree with the above. Likely worse before better. 

Unfortunately the numbers are a separate factor that is not in your favor. This DON brought SEVEN people to this employer along with herself, so 8. 

There is a very real possibility they consider it worth losing you (1) rather than start up any trouble for one (or more) of the other 8. 

I hope we are all wrong, by the way. 

First, there are plenty of other places that would hire you. 

As far as the resident, he has the right to refuse care from you or anyone else. It seems the reasonable thing would be to have social work set up a meeting w/him, you, the other nurses, the DON and med techs and with everyone present he can express who he is comfortable with giving him his meds, enema etc and who he is not & they then work around it.

It sounds like you REALLY need to protect yourself in this situation - if he is being untruthful, screaming at you or whatever - you need to limit ALL interaction with him and any interaction you have to have with him you need to ALWAYS have a witness.

In the mean time, FIND ANOTHER JOB. It's pretty obvious the new DON and her friends or whatever they are are quickly making the facility friendly to only some - its a battle you aren't going to win so save yourself and find somewhere else to work. Not worth the stress or the risk of them or this patient.
