I have talked to one of whom I work closely with and he is pretty much aware she creates drama but also knows her doctor defends her. They are all equal partners so what each one wants, each one gets. The consensus is everyone knows she is the problem but no one does anything because they know the Doctor defends her. I honestly feel like just waiting a few more months, delivering my baby then leaving.

Hello, I am an RN who recently started working in a neurosurgery clinic about 5 months ago and I am dealing with a lot of workplace drama. I transitioned from the NeuroICU to the clinic world after I got burned out in the ICU. I didn't really know what to expect working as an RN in a clinic, but I thought it would be a good change for me. As soon as I started, I started having issues with the medical assistants working there. The practice consists of 4 neurosurgeons and each one has an assigned medical assistant who basically places orders, rooms patients, orders medications, fills out FMLA, and even triage patients. When I was hired, I was told I would mainly be triaging patients over the phone, and in the future providing education to the patients regarding their upcoming surgeries. As soon as I started, the medical assistants started feeling threatened by me, felt I wasn't doing as much work as they were, and started to complain about every little thing I did. Currently, I am dealing with one particular MA who is constantly creating drama, gossiping, and always observing my every move in order to complain about me to her assigned doctor. I believe she feels she can do my job because she has worked with the doctor for 8 years, and feels she has enough experience as an MA to compare herself to an RN. She questions my clinical judgment, even though I have more critical care experience and knowledge as an RN. The clinic manager does nothing even after several people have complained about her because the doctor defends her and protects her. I don't know what to do, I know I want to leave this toxic environment, and I have been offered a full-time job in another ICU but I am currently 5months pregnant and honestly I know how stressful and physically demanding the ICU is which is why I feel like I should stay here until I have my baby. What should I do? Should I take the ICU job or stay in this clinic job until I deliver?

Does anyone know if we are allowed a calculator for the Hesi Exam? How easy was the Math section, critical thinking, and A&P. Thank You,
