Unprofessional Behavior and Consequences?

[Julie, RN]

I am a new grad, been a rn for about 6 months now. Had a nurse get verbally aggressive with me in front of everyone at the nurses station over not filling out a consent form completely. Even though there was plently of time for the oversight to be fixed she said I had ruined her day b/c she had to hurry up and fix it. I felt by her actions, non-verbals, and tone of vioce that I had killed someone-but it ended up being this minor little over sight that two adult professionals could have and should have discussed rationally. I find this behavior completely unacceptable and want to nip it in the "butt".

My question, what actions do I take to ensure I am not treated this way again and maintain a professioanl working relationship with this nurse?

Thanks,

Julie M.,RN

Get evil - scratch her name off your christmas card list, with a dirty nail.

No one can make you feel inferior without your permission

I would take her aside and tell her that you will not ever under any circumstances interact with her when she is displaying rude, unprofessional behavior, so she shouldn't be surprised when you look her in the eye, turn your back and walk away. She likes to push peoples buttons. Don't let her push yours.
