Why is there always someone to mess things up??/

I work in a small hospice center on the baylor weekend shift. There are four baylor girls as we call ourselves. We need one more staff nurse to finish the shift out in ur 20 bed unit. We work as a team on our weekends. Recently there has been a fly in the ointment of our weeknds so to speak. She is an LPN who has recently shifted to nights fulltime and works weekeneds periodically.

It started out with her taking days off the schedule we had scheduled ourselves for so we did not have to use PTO when taking time off (this was allowed). So we had a meeting with HR who told us we could no longer do that. Then she started talking about one or another of us saying things like I do not like this one or that one or that she is watching this one or that one to make sure we do our jobs, just silly stuff like that.

Last week it all came to a head when one of the baylor CNAs told her off. I was present as was another CNA. She confronted her about her remarks and her trying to cause trouble with us. After this was over the LPN called a friend of hers who also works here and she showed up so we could "talk". We all did and thought we had hashed everything out. Infact the "meeting" ended with hugs.

Monday morning I got a call from my boss, we did not mention anything to her beause we thought it was all worked out. My boss wanted to know if my CNA "attacked" the LPN. I gave her my input and told her no one was attacked. Tonight at work one of the other nurses said the LPN stated she should have called the police because of the "attack, that never happened"

Why is there always someone in the bunch to mess it up and add drama no matter where you go????????

No idea, but it seems like every unit has their DQ (Drama Queen).

Go ahead and try and tolerate the LPN as long as you can, I thorougly believes what goes around comes around and she'll get hers. Someone can only plead innocense for so long before administration catches on. If that doesn't work, make her life hell, until she quits, but of course not at the espense of the patients. Do excellent care with your residents and let her hang herself, and when she does, laugh at her as she's walking out the door. No I don't believe in petty games, but some people deserve a taste of their own medicine.

every unit has one no matter where you work. The hospital I worked would give you an early payday now and again usually on holidays and it was very nice to get that early check until one nurse took it away from the entire hospital. Payroll was right on time once instead of early and this fool wrote a bunch of checks that bounced due to that and then she wanted them to pay all her check fees becaused they bounced and that was the end of early checks
