I have worked in a LTC for six years as a LPN. Recently, I was hired PRN in a new facility.....waiting for full-time. Not sure if I would actually quit my current job, PRN made it easy for me to test the waters at this new job. Well yesterday, I worked at my regular facility and informed our central supplies person I needed briefs for res (which I had done friday as well) and she tore my ...ss up. She yelled at me, told me to go get them myself (which I had already done, I was just informing her that the facility would supply her briefs, not her family as I did friday as well). I ended up walking away, and she continued yelling at me until I had enough. I turned around and told her I was sick and tired of her inappropriate way she addresses me when I ask for supplies...................she came walking towards me, yelling at me the whole time. My unit manager stood there..not sure what to do I guess. This woman was pointing her finger in my face....tellling me what my problem was.......I told her to stop and get out of my comfort zone........She wouldn't, instead of backing down from her......I told her if she wanted to ever sit down and have a conversation about what people say about her I would be more than glad to ....for she was yelling at me........telling me what people think of me. Long story short, I have had....I gave my two weeks notice.........I told them "this job is hurting my self esteem and I can't do it any longer." What happened to the supply lady....well ya know "that's just the way she is." Screw that. I am sooooo done!

They can decide to just let me go, but if they do what about my vacation pay?

You kiss it goodbye.

:uhoh3:Four working days left, can I do it? I have 80 hours of vacation coming to me and I'll be darn if I loose it because I break. It's getting really tuff. Had several assistance complaining loudly and abrutly in dining room yesterday because I was checking in a patient with a spine fx. The dining room was covered, they had no room to complain. One of the assistance from about 30 feet yells "I don't care who just came in, these patients need fed." We had two family member in the dining room feeding their loved ones, one assistant and one other nurse. It was well covered. I looked and this assistant when she walked by and said "I don't think anything more should be said about the dining room." She turns around after about 10 steps...said my name and said "DON'T YOU EVEN TALK TO ME!" I went to the ADON and told her about it. I told the ADON four more days is all I want, and I'm skating out of here, but I won't be abused during those four days." She said "and you shouldn't be" I am afraid what is going to happen if I keep telling them what is being said to me. They can decide to just let me go, but if they do what about my vacation pay?[/quote]

Good luck in your new position. When you have completed your 2 weeks. you need to sit down and write a letter to the administrator about the behavior of the supply clerck and explain how it led to your untimely exit. They need to be made aware of this. (Which I am sure they are) I am so saddened to continue hearing this over and over again, a persons actions such as this being acceptable at work. If you or I were to act this way would it be written off as just the way we are?

I don't understand how people think they can be rude, demanding, and in your face to others and think it is appropriate.:angryfire
