Bullying - Will HR help or make matters worse?

I am 100% being bullied by management at my job. I have had enough of the BS, and I’m looking to get out.

My job makes me feel so uncomfortable. My manager is nit-picking everything I do along with making things up trying to get rid of me. I worried every day I’m going to get unfairly fired, or worse affect my license. 

I am thinking about going to HR with direct examples. I have started a list of things happening so I have proof.  But from what I’ve seen other people go through, reporting bullying normally only makes matter worse. Is it even worth reporting??

Ideally, I would just leave. I don’t want to stay; it’s an awful job. Crap management, poor staffing, completely unsafe. The list goes on. Luckily the nurses on the floor are mostly good! 

I’m working in ED, but I’m wanting to go to some sort of outpatient/ Monday-Friday job. And so far everyone is saying I’m interviewing well, but there were more experienced candidates. I’m having more difficulties changing specialties than I did getting a job as a new grad!

I have just been offered an interview for another job. Low stress, Monday to Friday, decent pay. I know it’s just a interview, and there’s no guarantees, but I’m so bloody excited.

Fingers crossed this is my ticket out of here. 

That's great! Keep us posted on how things go!

So the interview went well! They want me to come in and shadow for a couple of hours, if that goes well then reference checks and hopefully a new job. 

im excited. But trying not to get my hopes up, just yet.

Did you ever get any resolution? Did you go to HR? We're they helpful? I'm in a similar situation.
