I havn't read through all the replies, but this is just a suggestion. Check your hospitals policy on harrassment. This may fall under that heading. If it happens to you and to several of the nurses you work with you may wish to approach your unit manager as a group. Its much eaiser to deal with one person but as a group you may make more of a point. You may want to consider using a tape recorder and tape your report so that your unit manager may have some idea as to what it is like giving report to this person. If you do tape your report with your colleague make sure to get there permission. When she gives report to the oncomming nurse how is her report given, does she act the same as when receiving report. Other things to consider would be her personal life and the amount of stress in it. If all else fails as her if she forgot to take her prozac... And last of all You deserve a pat on the back for having to take what she has dished out over the months.. Nursing is hard enough without the stress of another co-worker making it worse. If your unit manager doesn't want to get involved in this then go up the chain of command in your instutition which may be the DON. Good Luck. Tim
