How should I handle?

Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place. It has been a while since I have visited the site.

I am a CNA in Colorado. I recently started a new job at a rehabilitation facility, so far I love it. I've done nursing homes in the past and felt more of a hospice nurse which I am not suited for.

My point: I am not a brand new CNA, but I'm feeling as though one CNA in particular sees me this way. Her attitude is just mean and unprofessional. For example, I worked Sunday with her. As soon as I got on the floor, she handed me the patient list and therapy schedules for a particular hallway, then switched me to a different hall saying well this hallway is easier and I'm making your life easier. I was on the previous hall the day before and knew the patients, it was not that difficult. I just put my head down and get to work. The hallway that I ended up working was very difficult. Multiple call lights going off at the same time, especially during trying to serve breakfast and lunch. I always answer my call lights before anything. There have been some hiccups with dietary; serving has been slow, running out of silverware among things. After answering several call lights, I came back to the dining room to get my room trays and serve..She had already set my trays up and said I've caught you up in a snarky tone, I just smiled and said thank you. She is not dietary; she is a CNA, not a manager of any kind.

I have been on this job a few weeks now..I certainly don't want the reputation as a tattle-tell, but her attitude affects not just myself but other workers and then trickles down to our patients.

She pulls rank because she has been with this company for 6 years I think..but still a CNA..

How do I handle this? I feel bullied.

Try and not let it bother you. Her behavior is probably more about showing you how good she is, than her opinion of your experience or skills.

If she wants to do part of your work for you smile and say thank you!
