For 2 years I have worked in a family practice medical clinic. The NP I work with, whom up until approximately 1 month ago, have had a very good working relationship with. She recently began treating me very differently. She's dismissive, hateful, condescending and NOTHING I do is right in her eyes. I just can't please her. The stress and tension I've been feeling over this is really wearing me down. I spoke to my clinic manager about it two days ago. Wednesday I triaged a patient as I normally would, updated the EMR chart to show ready for provider, and as I was leaving the exam room pts mother asked for some info on a different child. I left the exam room, and pulled the other pts chart(we just went EMR and her other child's record is still paper) and began to gather the information. At that time the NP came to my work area and began YELLING at me for not walking back to her office to notify her that she had a pt ready, that I had turned the chart "green" saying she had a pt so WHY didn't I go to her office and tell her!!! Then she walked into the pts exam room. She did this in front of 3 other employees and 1 student NP. I wanted to crawl under my desk! I was embarrassed and humiliated I knew I was going to cry, so I grabbed my purse, and walked outside and went and sat in my vehicle to let the waterworks commence. Our clinic is super small, not even a breakroom, and I needed privacy for a few minutes. My clinic manager came out less than 5 minutes later. We talked and I told him that I wanted to talk to HR. He told me to take the rest of the day off and he would have HR call me. HR guy called, and he said some things that alluded to pt abandonment and safety issues. How would it be pt abandonment when the NP was in the room WITH the pt when I walked outside? I would have went back inside after a few minutes had my manager not told me to go home.... I would think the concern for pt safety would be greater having a distraught nurse caring for them. Additional info, pt was there for a runny nose..Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!
