We give and give and give and in return, treated like crap.
+1
So she asked for advil and then went on claiming it doesn't work? Why did she ask for it in the first place?
I'd say do the Gem thing and be nice to her in her face and vent it all out to someone else. 😉
Dafuq's a come to Jebus meeting? Are you religious? Cause if you are you shouldn't be working in healthcare IMHO. Cause those people praise god for the recovery of a patient instead of the doctors, the nurses or the drugs that made the recovery possible... Not something I can appreciate. 😉 (still you're free to do whatever the fuck you want 😉 )click to expand

Any suggestions? Sure I'd like to ignore her but in a small medical office, that's not possible.
Sorry for the vent. I'm sure other Gems can relate to my scenario. We give and give and give and in return, treated like crap. And yes, I have tried to have a "Come to Jesus Meeting) with her. She ridiculed that as well.

"come to Jesus" meeting means we and a serious talk and got everything out in the open. doesn't mean you are doing anything religious. just one of those sayings we use here in the US. everyone here knows what it means.click to expand

btw, I am a MA. Actually, a CMA. And yes, I've worked with RN's most of my career. Some awesome to work with, others not. As a CMA, sometimes its hard to work with RN's because they often dismiss your medical prowess and knowledge. Now I have all the respect in the world for someone who earns a degree in whatever. I have three degrees, two in the medical profession. One in teaching. Plus 20+ years experience, including teaching college students how to draw blood, give injections and cell biology and A&P. I've run circles around some nurses in terms of phlebotomy technic, EKG's and rapid screens. OTOH, I respect the RN's I have worked with who are great with other aspects more akin to their training. I think both RN's and MA's bring their own unique talents and perspective. The best RN's I have worked with have treated me with respect and appreciate my work prowess etc. That goes a long way when you can respect your co workers. Probably why my current is such a pain.
When it comes to two people with similar knowledge, it's a wash. When it comes to the same people but one has tons more experience, obviously the edge goes to that person. When it comes to someone having more knowledge, more experience and a proven work ethic history vs. someone who has zero experience, no degree and a crappy work ethic, well that's exactly what i'm up against. Oh Joy.

Wtf is wrong with your boss then that he's ALLOWING this shit to happen?

You have the patience of a saint. I probably would have had much more than a serious talk with her by now. I probably would have pushed back HARD. She has zero right to treat anyone that way, much less someone for whom she should have respect for being more experienced.
P.S. I was born and raised in The Bible Belt and understood the phrase. It's not used much anymore.

He's really a good guy. most of this crap occurs when he's not in the office. and when he is, his office is not close to where our work stations are. so he can't see everything all the time. i have spoken to him a little without sounding like a whiney 5 year old. i think he get it's to a point. but again, he's a guy. men hate patty crap between women. that's why i'm trying to cut it off now before it gets ugly. my patients is wearing thin.click to expand

Nope. she's basically nothing but a PT bartender. no degrees, no experience,
no brain cells.click to expand

i just want a coworker who is professional, experienced in our field and can do her job efficiently. I think most people who bring a work ethic each day to their job want the same from their coworkers. Plus, having people around you who are good people and team oriented are much more enjoyable. life is too short to be stressed out 24/7.

The Dr. I work for is pretty cool and knows she's lazy and completely under qualified for her position. Not sure why he hired her. He also knows my work ethic, relies on my professionalism and trusts me with tasks that he would not trust her with, period.

I was gonna say, if I lived there and never heard of it, then it clearly isn't used much. It totally sounds like a bible belt/south thing haha.

Guys can be really dumb about this stuff because they just don't get sucked into drama as easily sometimes. They don't really see how it can be an issue long term because of this.
Also, curious, exactly what degrees do you have?click to expand

Once again your wrong P bitter old woman.
the Virgo i spoke of at work is NOT the other Virgos i've spoken about. Who the hell are you to question whom I'm speaking about in the first place?
You don't know me. You don't know squat.
FTR, I've only known my boss, in which this post is about, since June when I started my new job with his practice.
Two other virgo's I've discussed were first a life long mentor and the other was someone I went out with for a while but couldn't get past the friend zone.
You are something else. You sit on this board and spout your utter crap because you for some reason believe you are the queen of all things DXP.
I pity you. If you are so desperate you have to point out how long I've been on a board (and only post on occasion), then you clearly have no life.
And furthermore, you don't know my scenarios from shit. How would you know if my boss trusts me or not? You can't even describe my work or my responsibilities. You certainly don't know my coworker. I have no control who is hired. That's not my job. Since you don't know me, my boss or my coworker, then what you imply is pure conjuncture based on what's in that delusional, warped, bitter brain of yours.
I've worked for over 20 years in my line of work. I hold 3 degrees. There is a reason why I've been successful throughout my career. I have a work ethic and am damn good at what I do.
Seriously, get a fricking life already. I go to work every day. You, OTOH, come here to canvass the board to see whose next in line to berate.
You have a pathetic existence. Is it any wonder MOST people on this board LOATH you?
And again, I asked GEMINI's to respond. You are a slimy old fish. Perhaps instead of spending so much of your energy on being bitter and posting utter BS, you should take a course on reading comprehension; not to mention, your recent obsession with me is creeping me out.

My coworker is 25, has no degrees, and her only job up until now as been a part time bartender.
Today she asks me for some advil as she's having cramps. I gladly give two to her and instead of saying, "thanks", she starts going on a diatribe
about her brother, who supposedly has a masters in Nutrition, told her advil doesn't actually help cramps. It's all in women's head's that advil (ibuprofen)
works.
I asked her if her brother was a Pharmacist too. She said, "No." Then I explained to her that advil (ibuprofen) is an anti inflammatory, which is what cramps really are: inflammation. This is why advil and other meds in this class reduce pain. She goes on and on about how I'm wrong and then says I'm a bitch.
this is one of MANY little spats we've had simply because she constantly demeans me and my qualifications. I used to just smile and walk away. But this now has gone on for months. Moreover, she is NEVER on time for work and I always cover for her. It's getting old that she can never show up on time.
Because she has zero lack of character, I will never broach this subject with her.
The Dr. I work for is pretty cool and knows she's lazy and completely under qualified for her position. Not sure why he hired her. He also knows my work ethic, relies on my professionalism and trusts me with tasks that he would not trust her with, period. With that said, I don't want to go running to him because he's a guy and a virgo at that. I love my job. She also just got offered a new PT job, which she will cut her days hours here to go to that one.
So I'll be stuck with the work she doesn't get done; which is a lot because she basically is on her phone all day texting.
She's a Cap, and I swear, every Cap I've worked with prior as some control complex. I've bent over backwards for her but no longer.
Any suggestions? Sure I'd like to ignore her but in a small medical office, that's not possible.
Sorry for the vent. I'm sure other Gems can relate to my scenario. We give and give and give and in return, treated like crap. And yes, I have tried to have a "Come to Jesus Meeting) with her. She ridiculed that as well.
