I am an RN who works in the operating room. I have been at my job for 5 months, and am new to the OR although I have been a nurse for a long time. I am still learning my new role. There is one scrub tech who is very chatty and "friendly" with the physicians during surgery. I have heard her on numerous occasions criticizing other scrub techs or RNs to surgeons. This is a person who all the staff seems to like and be friends with. I have always just ignored the comments since I am new and everyone seems to like her. However, while I was circulating a case and she was the scrub tech, she proceeded to badmouth ME to the surgeon! I walked up the the field and let her know she needed to stop, but I didn't make a big deal out of it because I didn't want to distract everyone from the task at hand! She talks to the docs like she is their peer. I want to write her up, but I have to continue to work with her! And I know that if I write her up, it will add fuel to the fire and she will tell EVERYONE and I may be ostracized. My nurse manager in non-confrontational so I don't think she will do anything if I take it to her. I need advise!
