[[ Annoying Co-Workers ]]

"God...I'm going to really need you to help me today not to strangle my co-worker...you know who she is..."

I start this blog entry out with that because well, it is a prayer that I need to start most of my days with sometimes when I know that I'm going to work with "her" (I do not say her name for protection purposes...and I know she won't see this but I'm just not going to mention her name). But seriously...there is this one particular RN at my place of employment whom I am not very fond of at all. I may sound mean but it's the truth...I cannot help how I feel and to tell you the flat out truth...I am NOT the only one. She's just the type that really likes to dictate...is lazy alot of the time...and does not consider the other working around her that they can not always do what she wants right away. Really though...they should have to do what "she wants". That's not what we are at work for. We are at work to give our patients the utmost "excellent" care that we possibly can....to keep them safe and let them know that they are good hands with our nurses.

Today this particular RN...another LPN...and I had a meeting with our Manager and clinical coordinator because this RN had a problem with us. She told our Manager that we had communication problems and we never let her know anything. But we also had to point out to our manger alot of the things that this RN does NOT do...she is very rude...and like to delegate and have things done when she wants them done when she sees that we are extremely busy so we came up with a plan to "improve" these problems which probably will not last very long at all but...we will have to see.

Also...this RN told a flat lie about me about something I did at work yesterday. I corrected her part of the story that was wrong but she INSISTED that I was the one that was wrong...and so of course...our manager believes her and sorta defends her because that's just how they are. So whatever I did not argue a whole lot because I am NOT in trouble. There ain't no reason to make things worse than they are.

Anyways...I'm just sick and tired of being belittle because I am a LPN. Alot of that seems to be going on lately. Maybe not to be directly but in general. Some LPNs can know just as much as a RN does we just both play different roles. Sometimes the reputation some RNs give themselves makes me really not want to be one. I'm still praying on that though to see if God wants me to become one. I still am not sure.

I finally have a day off tomorrow!!!! Yes!!! lol...only one so that I can work the weekend but...it's better than nothing. I am DEFINATELY going to be sleeping and going to the gym at some point. I think I have done enough rambling for the night. So...Adios!
