Good Moanin OT thread!!!
I am about to embark on a well deserved day off, and quite frankly I need it! I have been under some stress at work. I know the word has lost some of its power due to constantly being misused, but I think I am being bullied by a nurse at work. The reason I am thinking it is actually bullying is because her constant targeting of me actually left me crying alone in the work toilets, and that is never an appropriate response to work interactions.
It has been going on for two years and it started when she didn't report a patient falling. When a patient has an unwitnessed fall, there is a time consuming process that must be followed, and it starts with 15 min neuro obs, millions of forms and a PRIME. The patient told the AIN, and the AIN told me, and after speaking to the patient and his wife, I was left with no choice but to update the CNC to follow it up, and the grudge was born.
On Monday her nastiness towards me got to the point it made me cry with sadness, and Tuesday morning I decided enough was enough. Now I have to work out the most effective way to try and build a bridge and move forward.
