How can I handle this

[Flossy73]

Hi I had this little problem last night. I was in charge allocating patients to two other nurses. This nurse jumped ahead of me to choose her patients before I could allocate. She wanted xyz that from a few days prior. I said yes. The acuity for her patients was low. However after choosing her patients that she moaned about her heavy work load but would not change them . I offered to do that for her and so did another nurse. Also to make things better I did all the new admissions. However from that point on when the shift started she had hostile body language and did not speak to me for 8 hours. Then she goes off at the end of the shift to talk to the charge nurse. She tells her that I gave her my previous patients from the night shift. But she chose them herself. The charge nurse asks me to go into her office, she states so and so was upset. I tell her that this nurse basically ignored me the whole shift and I allocated properly. The charge nurse then tells me that she's heard a few whispers but then names one of the people that I allocate unfairly. I tell her that I don't want to be in charge. Her response how dare I as a senior nurse refuse to be in charge. I've had enough I feel targeted . What would you do. I want to leave but am concerned that this event will spoil my chances of getting another job. I've lost my confidence in being in charge, I was quite good at it. Actually when I walked out of her office she laughed.

I not was miffed that she didn't speak to me, I don't care about that. Actually there was another nurse that witnessed everything. The only thing that I was upset about is my charge nurse thought I did a crap job allocating when this nurse lied. Not only that my charge nurse went on to say there were whispers from other people and one named person who said I do a crap job. I don't. So now I feel I have to leave. Nursing is a back stabbing profession.
