Have you or your co-workers talked with the supervisor with your concerns about the PITA? What do they say about getting rid of her?
:crazy1:I have a little story. There is this mouthy, bossy, don't push me around LPN who sits for 10 hours of the 12 she works, feet propped up, or head bobbing sleeping. Her patients go without her eyes to see. The CNA does take care of her patients. I like to ask the CNA how is her and T's patients doing? Ms. LPN has a high number of patients that fall in the floor and "go bad". :crazy1:
The RN charge notices all this and every now and then calls the LPN's name to awaken her to info abt her patients. Many LPNs, RNs do not want to work with Ms. LPN due to ethics. Ms. LPN had a eval recently and boasted she told the Manager to fire her. Ms. LPN boasts that the manager told her "she wasn't getting out that easy!" Other than that the vents still are pasted with years of dust and its still hot at our nsg station. Life is good!:nurse-hang:

I liked the part about the challenge and the manager's response that she isn't getting out that easy! :crazy1:
Geez, talk about give someone enough rope..... I'd be wall papering with write ups, for sure.
It's always the brassy, in-your-face types that seem to get away with murder. Ever notice that on the rare occasion when they're directly confronted, they go meek? I'd recommend it. If she doesn't quit, she'll straighten out- for a little while, anyway. This one won't be fixed.
