Pathologically lying new colleague - any advice?

Nurses Relations

Published

Hi everyone,

I am distraught over what, if anything, to do about my new situation. I just moved to a new state and started a new job in a specialized unit of 4 RNs, plus our RN supervisor.

Another RN also moved from out of state and started the job with me 2 weeks ago. This fellow, new RN is constantly changing her stories of her background and reason for moving. One example of her fibbery is she told me she took her nursing boards back in the day of paper tests (nursys license check is dated 2007 - clearly computerized), etc, etc. I have not witnessed any harm in patient care (yet), but her pathological lying has completely undermined my trust in her and I do not feel safe working in such a small group with her. I dread going to work after only 2 weeks.

Do I come forward with my concerns? Or do I wait for her to implode? Thanks for any advice.

Specializes in ob/gyn med /surg.

yeahhh i agree with you. her personal life is her life.
