What would u do???? (lenghty sorry)

[nurseofalltrades]

I know this is not an advice forum, but I am at my wits end.... I have been an LPN for almost two years at a LTC/Skilled facility. Every year when the new classes graduate, we receive some new nurses...some stay, some can't take the stress.(What? Did u think nursing wasn't stressful? anyhow...) About two months ago we hired a new GPN. She received almost a month of orientation which at our facility is quite rare...(I got 4 hours!) They continue to schedule her on our skilled floor because we only have 20 patients there. Med pass on that floor takes an hour and that's with us stopping and chatting a bit along the way. This LPN takes 5 hours to complete this med pass meaning she is passing 1800 meds at 2300...She has a major attitude like she knows everything..She made comments that all of us women nurses there are b*tches and only the male nurses are nice....I went to her floor last night to see how she was....there were orders stacked on the desk to be taken off...I gave her copies of them as to keep her from making yet another med error.(some were coumadin orders). Then I heard an IV beeping..She flipped out on me because I thought it was coming from the wrong direction. After 5 more minutes i went to check the IV myself and found the machine on pause and the tubing not connected to pt but lying on the floor. She told me the cnas did it so they could undress pt..I said (nicely) that the CNAs arent allowed to disconnect/connect IVs so be careful in the future.She flipped out and started giving me attitude...I walked away before I punched her in the face...Her shift ends at 21:30 and she leaves a 0200 because she cant finish.If I were that far behind I would welcome help not chew someones head off for offering friendly advice. i was really tempted to pursue violence and thats not me...lol So I guess my question is.....what do i do about this nurse? She will not accept help or any criticism from staff.She pulls 50 hours of overtime a pay because she cant get her work done...Do I talk to the DON? Those residents are my life and it pains me to see them getting less than great care....being woken at 2300 to take a pill they should have at 1800.. Many LPNs feel this way and have been on the receiving end of the attitude...Its not like she just hates me ....LOL What do I do? Im worried for my residents....any response welcome!
