I'm working as an HCA in hospital (I'm actually a Staff Nurse but was seriously ill so I'm working as an HCA until May).
A new HCA called Ana had a go at me during a very stressful and busy morning saying she ''can't do all the patients' washes myself'' (I'd only said that someone needed to do a tea round soon which prompted her outburst, even though no-one expected her to do all the washes).
Ana then said in front of all the staff that she'd ''been on her own all morning'' despite the fact I'd worked with her and I did half our allocated washes plus gave out all the breakfasts.
I worked really hard that day and was angry that she implied that I didn't pull my weight.
She even told another HCA that she'd timed me doing a wash (and told her I took longer that I actually did).
The nurse in charge spoke to Ana privately so she seems ok with me now - to my face.
But I don't understand why she picked on me in the first place and I don't know if she's still watching me and bitching behind my back.
The other staff seem to like me and think I work hard enough.
I'm on anti-psychotic medication for paranoia and I can't let this incident jeopardise my chance of becoming an SN again in May by becoming ill again.
AIBU to have let this bother me? I suppose she's hit a nerve because I really am worried that I'm bad at my job :(
