My DON is so unprofessional. She called my office which is steps away from hers and started screaming at me with her office door open. I am a MDS-RN, and she told me that I needed to come in and do my part of the patient admission on a Saturday. My part of the admission literally takes 30 seconds because all we do is export the patient from one system we run in our facility to another. We actually have some le-way as to when we do an admission assessment on our patients, we actually have to evaluate which reference date would be better to use if it's a medicare A patient. Anyway, Our admission nurse and my DON are friends and the admission nurse thought that because she had to come in that MDS should have to come in also, even though she is crossed trained to do our part of the admission for this reason. When told to come in, I asked my DON why the admission nurse could not do this and when she started screaming at me about how I should pull my weight and be a team player I explained that gas is 3.50 cent a gallon and that I live 30 minutes away! why should I come in if a nurse who can do my part will be there anyway. Now here's the unprofessional part. She started screaming about how I was not a team player and how I should not be allowed to work part-time b/c she couldn't be part-time b/c of her position. She also said that should have to come in and do the entire admission because our admission nurse had more senority than I did, which a slap in the face because I have been there 2 years longer than her and she didn't even realize it. Not only did other nurses hear her rake me over the coals, but so did CNA'S and residents. She was so loud. I ended up telling her that I would come in and do it, just to get her to stop yelling. I am not sure what to, I realize that I may should have come in with no questions asked, but it didn't make sense. Should I hit the road because of this disrespect?
