So there's this nurse at work, shes a casual so thankfully I don't have to deal with her often but when ever I do she's always an utter cunt to me and me alone. She will pick through my work, point out things I've done wrong or not done and so on. Last night I handed over and left after the usual interrogation. Her favorite thing to do is wave her hand dismissively and say "never mind, I'll work it out" insinuating that I've left a mess. She never does it to the people I'm working with, just to me.
About 40 minutes later she calls me up to tell me that I have a. given someone too much dexamethasone and b. charted their drugs wrong. She then gleefully informs me that she has informed the ANUM (manager) and will be filling out an incident report documenting my mistakes.
I've looked up dosing information regarding cerebral swelling and I gave the correct dose, the dose that was ordered by the doctor. The doctor charted the IV antibiotics incorrectly. Only the first dose was given and the doctor didn't chart the dose incorrect, just the amount of times it is to be given. This is clearly not my fault either although if I were perfect I would have picked up on this but I'm not so there you go.
My moan is that there is now an incident report floating around that I know will not be investigated properly stating that all this is my fault when in actual fact none of it is. It pisses me of that she is such a cunt to me and only me. She has been from day 1. I have no idea what I have done to provoke this response from her but she really does hate my guts.
I don't know what to do about it to be honest. A friend (actually an old nursing lecturer from when I was at uni) has suggested I both speak to the manager about her and also speak with the union. It all seems a bit OTT but at the same time I do need to protect myself. At a bit of a loose end to be honest.
