Bouncing Back/Navigating SNF Politics

Hey all! I wanted to know if anyone had some solid practical tips on bouncing back/navigating tricky politics at SNF.

For instance... If your STNA's seem to be against you, rattle tale-Ing to upper management about petty things that never happened.

Or how to keep your job if you sense upper management has an axe to grind on you.

I've never been written up so I'm not too worried, but I'm starting to see a lot of fakeness, gossip, and nurse to nurse lateral violence and I really want to avoid this at this job.

    ETA: I'm never late, I've called out once in 2 years, I have a great rapport with my patients and their families... I just work in a stressful environment and there's some cultural divide between myself and 90% of the employee population.

    OK, so I have a couple of questions. First, are STNA's nurse aides? Second, how many of the 90% are not nurses?

    I think a STNA is a state trained nurse aid aka CNA?

    I've worked in large facilities with 200 beds down to a 50 bed facility. The politics are everywhere. Seems worse in the smaller one though. If you are a supervisor or manager, stay consistant and fair. Go by the rules, don't play favorites. Don't get caught up in the gossip. It will pull you in and drag you down. Same applies for the staff nurse.
