Maybe this isn't the right sub to post in, but here it goes. I'm an RN working in an outpatient Endoscopy Center. I've worked in the ER, ICU, Interventional Radiology, Medical, Surgical, you name it!! We've conducted full resuscitations on patients wearing only gloves, so it's quite a luxury having gowns, masks, goggles, etc for this job which is rarely dirty.
Now this tech who cleans scopes after the procedure is trying to find any little mistake I make and it's frustrating as fuck!! I've heard rumors she's gotten people fired after working there for 10+ years. I couldn't care less if I get something on my hands. I wash them off immediately, in the rare case it happens. The problem with this write up is that they are “concerned for the hygiene of the patient”, but it's their own bodily fluids we're talking about!!! She's just out to get me. She's been fired from multiple places for unknown reasons, so she exerts dominance here.
HOWEVER, I finally got the upper hand… When she's cleaning my room between procedures, she takes off her gloves after throwing the 'dirty' (there's never fecal matter on anything) setup away. She immediately changes her gloves to a new pair. BUT… the CDC says she needs to be washing her hands in between those glove changes!! .
If she says one more thing to my boss I am going to print out the CDC guidelines and note everything she does wrong. Also I'm sick of the M-F BS, so I'm going to say I can work 4 days a week or 0 days a week. Their choice… 2 can play this game.
Sorry, Just needed to vent. Anyone have similar experiences with workplace bullies???
