am i in the wrong
for context I’m nqn and my ward has this thing where you do obs when they flag, not at set times (which is how I’ve done it in all my placements so this confused me a bit upon starting but anyways got used to it).
i was on nights and there were two obs due at 750 am (I finish at 8 but we usually just go home after handover), but one patient he literally had no sleep and asked me not to bother him so I figured that the nurse in the morning could do it after her meds or during skin checks. the other lady when I went round was walking round the ward.
anyway she came in and I finished handover and she said why haven’t you done this I explained why and she went in and of course he was awake and the other patient was in bed. So she got really mad at me and my hca who I felt bad for because it was my decision to delay them.
the nurse associate doesn’t vibe with me or maybe she’s like this with everyone but Everytime I handover I get random questions that don’t seem relevant and sighs when I said I couldn’t get the bloods. little things like that I’ve not had from other staff members.
she got so mad at me about the obs and raised her voice in front of other staff members and I felt rly embarrassed. if she asked nicely I would’ve done it before I left, but I got a bit upset because she shouted at me in front of other staff members so I went home and said it’s only two obs.
anyway my hca said that she always complains to management so I emailed my manager the situation cos I didn’t want things being said without my aide. i mentioned in the email the work culture being negative and how I’ve been shouted at multiple times by some staff members &. how it’s effecting me coming into work but now I’m regretting sending that email cos I don’t want to be the drama I just want to get the experience and then leave for a more positive job :(
I feel like I should’ve just woken him up now to avoid drama and it might come back to me. Or just done them after handover when my shift ended, but it was being shouted at that made me just want to go
if im in wrong ill probs apologise when I next see her but i dont know if me being emotional is clouding my judgement or i should stick up for myself i need some guidance 😭
