I really like my unit but now I am thinking of leaving. Today I was verbally abused by a nursing aide in front of a patient - The story - i came into a pt room and the aide said - why didn't you help me (clean up) with this patient...i said,,, did you ask me? she said she didn't have to ask me----and this bantering went back and forth...i told her that i was busy talking to doctors etc...she said i was sitting when she saw me...and it started to get heated.. i told her she needed to ask me for help so i could prioritize things then---we did the back and forth you need to ask, i should have known thing --then she goes --now you are interupting me as she is putting a blanket on the pt...i go i am giving a vital medication right now to the patient she has edema and needs this iv lasix...she ignores me and continues to go off about how i am interupting her---i said ---you know what, i am going to go to the supervisor- she says ya, go ahead ---anyway the super talked to her and she fake apologized to me (stated that she was joking and everyone else knows how she jokes and that she is sorry i took it that way) after -i went back to the supervisor and said this is not the first time she has done something like this and that this assistant is creating a hostile work environment. I have seen her and heard of her doing crazy stuff like this to other staff-- just last week she kick a therapist out of a pt room and stating that she was just there 5 minutes ago and she needed to give the pt a bath and told the therapist to leave...Anyway
I really do not like this assistant...she is mean and tries to run things - I just have had about enough of her --- this is definately the straw before that last straw...grrrrrrrrrrrr:angryfire
