Bully nurses
First time posting, but needed to get this off my chest so that I can move on and not give a shot beyond this. This might be long winded because there's multi parts to my particular sinerio.
I'm a PCA (patient care assistant) for a large hospital. I'm the kind of person (by fault) goes out of my way to help people, duh uts why I'm in Healthcare. We had a PCA who was struggling and her car broke down, single mom and I lent out rides to her on a daily basis, due to the fact that I hate seeing single moms struggle. Her car broke down and she had me believe and was under the impression that she was working on getting it fixed, so I didn't have an issue.
Until...
I noticed that she started to take advantage of my kindness. I'd see her come in with new nails ( we all know it's not cheap), new hair weaves, showed me pictures of her daughters elaborate graduation party pictures. And fine, I understand that it's important for self care and love. But not once was I ever offered a cup of coffee. I don't do things in order to get things back in return, not about that, it was just a lack of consideration. It became expected that I was to give her rides.
I ended up very sick and took time off. I have an auto immune disease where my body sometimes locks up. And after a week of being off, I get a text from this coworker , not asking how I am, but verbatim "are you working in the morning because I need a ride". No please or thank you...and that was when I cut her vampiric ass off. Never responded. Because I am professional at my job, she was doing everything in her power to ruin my credibility, and the nurses believed her side of the story...I was made out to be the villa.
Fast forward. Vampire got fired for unrelated things, however since then, a group of nurses has admittedly said they purposely leave me out of everything. Idc..what ever. What I do care is the fact that there is a particular Nurse that won't help me when I'm on the floor and I brought this up to management, only because we have one PCA on each unit for 16 PTs. I can't do everything. Especially considering I'm on a trauma step down.
Work got around that I went to management, and this nurse started to rally up a mean girls clique. Anyone who is around me will be subject to their rumors and drama. I have been professional this entire time. Only a few nurses now associate with me due to how bad the drama is now.
It's getting to the point to the point that anything I do gets tossed on the managers desk. Now it's happening to a coworker that I am close to.
I'm not quitting, because I know eventually the truth will come out how I'm actually the victim of work place mobbing.
But yes the ring leader nurse admitted that they are trying to isolate me. 🙄
