I know how this is going to sound, but the only reason I don't like my floor is due to a couple coworkers, who happen to alternate as charge nurse.
Margaret is a total dog. She is really nasty to me and other staff members, but as sweet as can be to others. Those of us that she is nasty to, we do't know what we did to make her so mean to us. One day I had enough and I gave it RIGHT back to her. That was over 2 months ago and she is still holding a grudge. She is also a know-it-all (NOT!) and thinks she is positively perfect. But she is so good at pointing out flaws in others. Oh, and when she gets report from me, she acts like she isn't listening and then will proceed to drill me afterwards, telling me what I should have done, what I didn't do, how she doesn't like to follow me, etc. When I talked to my manager a/b her, she said she knows she can get a chip on her shoulder and others have complained that she has gotten out-of-control and that she would talk to her. Well, whatever talk they had, dod not help anything.
Mary- not as bad as margaret, but lazier than shiit. Sleeps on the job, gets her computer assessment done before she even sees patients, assigns all hard patients to others.
The charge nurses named above do NOTHING to help the stff out that has a full load. They take long breaks, etc. And they only have 3 patients. I am being trained as charge in spurts and when I am, I am going up to the other nurses asking "Ok, what can I do to help you?" etc. Not them
If I transfer, should I be honest with my manager and tell her why? My parents are telling me "It's going to be like that anywhere you go" - maybe, maybe not. I'd like to think not. But I'm sure she will tell me that. And when I interview with a different department, should I tell that manager the reasons I want to tranfer (ie, sleeping coworkers).
I believe that honesty is the best policy. I'd like to crack the whip, but I feel so defeated. Oh yea, our unit clerk sometimes disappears.
