"Pride cometh before a fall". Sooner or later she will cause her own undoing.
Although it is annoying to be around someone like that, save your energy for being and giving your personal best. Any energy given to her cause is wasted energy.
Ppl like this just need ignoring. Refuse to allow her to upset you or your day...concentrate on that which is good... in yourself, your patients and fellow coworkers whose noses aren't quite so far up in the air (or stuck up others' hind ends). I always like to remind myself that ppl who walk around with their nose in the air will drown when the rains come... and the rain is no respecter of persons.. it falls on the humble and proud alike.
After having alienated herself with her attitude, who will be there to cover her with an umbrella when the proverbial "doo doo" hits the fan, or throw her a life ring when the torrents of rain threaten to flood and drown her?
Don't get sucked into her negative space... it will only harm and weaken you.
Save your energies for those who are worthy.
Hmmm....ever meet up with that one particular coworker that is out to create discord and tension everywhere he/she goes, lives to undermine, and seems to only work when the NM is present. Well, I have met alot in my short time as a nurse but this one wins the Witch of the Millenium award.She is a total ego stroker, takes credit for others actions, literally tells people that she should receive credit for being "one of the few good nurses in this facility", tells anyone who will listen about how knowledgable, compassionate, nonspecifically wonderful, blah, blah, blah she is.
I can not take anymore, especially since I have taken over care of her patients and found assessments were not done or that she failed to find blatantly obvious deviations from from pts baseline, failed to give pain meds and charted "voiced no complaints" p.s. this pt she charted this on was NONVERBAL. Even though others do not like her they fear her so they pretend to tolerate her behavior because she is the Queen of the Incident Reports and a major suck up to anyone with authority.
How do you handle this Joan Collins wanna be?
Here she is in all her glory
Honestly, what she really needs is love and sincere encouragement. All this is screaming "insecurity!" She probably, in her heart, hates herself and this is how she wishes she really was. But, in her heart, she knows the truth.
Someone else quoted a verse that is very true. How about this one for us?
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them." - Luke 6:32
Not trying to point fingers, it's tough for everyone to do this. Hang in there!
