As much as I love the patients where I work, my last full-time week at PP is this week, then I start working two days/week so I can SKI! (Keeps my emergency skills sharp).
I CANT wait to leave- not because of my job itself- I really like what I do, but the people I work with are so incredibly immature. There are four FNPs and one PA - and all of them are awesome except ONE FNP, who has just been a total b*tch from day one. She found out I was becoming a physician and we're the same age, and she'll do things like make me wait for signatures an incredibly long time, where she'll sign someone else's orders immediately. She stopped even saying "good morning," and told me right before my UCSF interview that "those people are elitist," and then went off on how much it sucked. It seems small, but when she railed me in the hallway, publicly, in front of patients, for running a pregnancy test (that was totally reasonable) that she thought was superfluous, I had to fight to keep my cool. The manager was ticked at her for that, and ever since the mgr gave her some "constructive feedback" on her treatment of me (I said nothing, the mgr just heard), she's been queen biatch to me. Oh well, it's good training for residency I guess.
There's another medical assistant who's super lame and is her little puppy. I hate it. She's the only other MA who won't work as a team- we all do everything and she'll just say something flippant like, "Oh, *you're* patient needs a blood draw," while she's reading a magazine, and she's always on her cell phone trying to work some scam. I work at a Jerry-Springer central, I swear. There are two other MAs I love, and one FNP who is my absolute favorite, and the PA's been showing me IUD insertions every day she's there, but man, I am ready to get out of a poisonous environment.
And I get to go set up a river camp the 1st week of April and start being the med supervisor with that job again soon! Canyon work in June! It's still work, but it's different work- it's with friends I've had for 8 years, so I dig it.
