I need some help please. I have been a RN on a med-surg floor for about 5 months and have been off orientation for about 2 months. I mainly work weekend nights with a patient load of 8-11 pts with one aide. There is usually 1 other RN who has the same workload that I do. The one aide requests that she does not take assignment with me but will constantly seek me out to tell me what is wrong with my pts. Usually its along the lines of "the pt in rm 42 needs more pain meds." Now I know I can't be everywhere at once, and I appreciate that she tells me these things, but if I don't stop what I am doing at that moment, she says I don't listen to her and cops an attitude. I've always repeated back what she has said so she knows I've heard and understand her and thank her for informing of a pts condition. but she has now accused me of not properly taking care of my pts and/or not having my priorities straight! I tried takling to her, but she walks away from me when I bring the subject up. Oddly, she has told other RN's that I answer more call lights than any of them and has beennnn very complimentary about me to the other aides. I was hoping to try to solve this problem on my own, but I overheard her asking a pt if they were in pain, and wonder out loud why "the nurse won't give you pain medicine" Obviously, I had to take this to my manager to cover my butt ( thept wasn't due for meds for another hour) I don't know how much of this is me feeling overwhelmed as a new nurse, her being a bully or maybe I have poor interpersonal skills. I feel she is trying to prove something and I really want to work this out! Any suggestions? Thanks for letting me get this off my chest! Sorry this si soo long!
