i swear i feel so mad right now I can cry. i need to vent

okay so I work 12 hour shifts from 7 am to 730 pm

and boy it's hard since it's usually 6-7 high acuity patients

but this ****** oncoming nurse is just a really bad way to end the day. she comes in, just in time to give report then she makes you wait while she browse through which takes about 30 mins more and you're so tired you can die right there but she doesn't care. finally when she's ready it takes 15 minutes one patient at a time because she just DOESN'T LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!! she interrupts me, she doesn't let me speak myself, she butts in and butts in, she doesn't effing wait to hear what you have to say, i have to repeat myself like 5 times, and she wants to review the whole effing which if she just would listen i will give her all the pertinent information. She corrects me when there's nothing to correct because she DOESN"T LISTEN and i end up correcting her assumptions again. Bottom line she acts like a know-it-all who is really stupid and very inconsiderate. I think I should I write her up, I need to get done on time. What do you guys think?

i'm a new hire and fairly young. so i work extra hard for i feel like i need to prove myself. and i'm so effing tired of nurses like this who act all superior when they dont do half the **** i do. some nurses who got comfortable doing their jobs they just dont care and they've been in the facility so long they're laissez faire. i hope someone could relate to this. i feel so unholy right now with all the anger i'm feeling. i guess i keep it all bottled up. i always smile try to get along with everybody, always extra kind. i wasnt even faking it it's just the way i am but now i feel like i'm turning into monster. because i realize nobody freaking care everybody is for themselves. if you're kind they take advantage of you. and i'm tired of it, but if i do speak up idk i just dont want to be ganged upon since im just here for half a year. and they're like decades or half a decade, see all new nurses leave.

I feel sick and unappreciated and soiled

Oh my Gosh! Didn't read responses here. Spiritual ACLS needed. I get it. I get where you are at. The way I respond is this....."I will give you my full report, and then, you may ask questions....I am very exhausted, and if you will listen through, you may hear the answers to your questions....." Period. Then go on to your report. She is being a bully. Stand your ground. I have been known to say "I don't respond well to this kind of interaction..."......"what kind of interaction?"......"whatever it is that you are putting out right now, I can't respond in kind"......that usually leaves them dumbfounded. I get it. I have been on both ends.....blessings, and jeez....nurses can be the meanest people on earth......oxox
