Problem at work...

[nursetina05]

I am an LPN at a very busy RPG pediatric clinic. I just graduated in September but I am not new to the medical field. I know that some people just dont work but the situation I am currently in bothers me more than I think it should. In my clinic there are two LPN's and 3 CMA's. First let me say that two of these girls work their butts off on a daily basis and never comlpain. The third girl however NEVER works. She can and will find anything to make her look busy so she does not have to check in patients and such. I am the floor LPN and the other LPN works the office answering the phone and returning patient calls. We had an office meeting last week about this "problem of someone not doing their part" (everyone was there except the one girl who does not work). The clinic manager asked US if we wanted this girl fired. Well we dont want to see anyone out of a job and thats not for us to decide. So she said that this girl would be moved to a specialty clinic and that someone new would be hired for our clinic and that this girl would go back on probation. I was off last friday and this past monday and when I retunred to work this girl was still there and on top of it they gave her a shift that everyone there was asking to have. So they rewarded her for doing a bad job basically. We are all hot over it now. And to make it even worse I found out from one of our attending docs that this is not the first time they have done this with her. Now, let me say...I dont have a problem with working hard to earn my money but I do have a problem with working like a dog and picking up the slack for someone else and that person being rewarded for being a bad employee!! HELP!! I am currently looking to transfer within the company to another office because I can not stand to watch anyone work like we do when we should not have it so hard if this one girl would just get off her butt and work!! :angryfire
