i am new here,

work as an rn.just graduated this february.

Its almost 8 months am working in this small community hospital.i do work night shift with the 2 other philiphino nurses.one of the nurse she joined after me like may be 3 months later.another nurse she working like one year now.she is kinda ruling type.they work together like a team.and if i need any type of help she show the attitudes.she will help sometime.but sometime she may not help me.she always says that am stressed from this job and i should quit.this is going on like 7 months now.and for the first time when i wanna join to the hospital she said i should work in nursing home.then later always she encouraging me to work in the different hospital or nursing home.and another source i know she wanna bring another philiphino nurse in my place.above all i feel is she is stepping on my self confidence daily putting me down.everyday i take this abuse from her.yesterday she was saying that she dreamed about me that i resigned the job.and she questioning me weather her dream comes true.and this nurse went and told with the other nurse that she going to tell me to resign the job.its an stress dealing with this nurse then working with my patients.

i feel depressed everytime i work with her and feel stressed out.she is the main cause for stress in my life.it affects my family and daily life.am taking this abuse from her 7 months now.

i know good people r in here who can tell me wat can i do?and just help me deal with this.how can i overcome this?i know someone can help me with this.

thanks

leena

Welcome to allnurses.com, please feel at home and welcome here! :)

What you are experiencing is on the job harassment and you should take it up with your supervisor. If you get no satisfaction or resolution going that route, find out about the Equal Employment Opportunity/Sexual Harassment support in your hospital and talk to one of their represenatives because you may have grounds to file an EEO complaint against the nurse doing the harassing.

You have the right to work in what ever area you desire in any facility that you wish, given the opportunity and she has no right to brow beat you to death everytime the 2 of yu work together.

I wish you the best of luck in your troubles and again, welcome to allnurses.!

Exactly right. Remember:

I'm so sorry you are being treated this way (((hugzzzz)))..our jobs as nurses are difficult and stressful enough without having to deal with the attitudes of our coworkers..sounds like this nurse doesn't like you and never will..that is HIS/HER problem..not yours..we go to our respective jobs to take care of pts..not to please the staff...I'd definatley talk to the nurse manager/supervisor about this and see what,if anything can be worked out between you two..life's to short to put up with the stress you have been caused..time for action...best of luck to you :)

I agree with all who replied, and welcome new member to our group. Whe're happy to have you aboard.

It sounds like the one who needs to go is that TROUBLE MAKER!:(

Please, DO NOT let that woman get the best of you. You have every right to STAY PUT! And if I was in your shoes, I would do just exactly that. THAT WOMAN NEEDS TO BE REPORTED!

Even if you have to go to the top, please GO! Nothing angers me more than seeing those Persons hurting innocent victims.:(

While I totally think the trouble maker should go, can your self confidence and peace of mind take the pressure with no end in sight? I almost got out of nursing because I worked with people who would not work together. They wouldn't help with the really heavy patients and I felt like a haggard old woman every day I left work. I changed my position within the same hospital and all I can say is I LOVE my coworkers. Good luck. Go with your heart.
