I recently started a job as an LPN at the facility that I worked as an aide. I had my training with a nurse who talked about about me openly in fron of student nurses, visiting family members, and other workers. I was told by a person who heard everything. The same day I went and requested not to be trained by the same nurse but the next day, they put me back with her. That morning another worker pulled me to the side and told me that nurse was up there belittling me in front of everybody. I had a horrible day and I stupidly confronted her crying. She denied ever saying anything, then she confessed and told me she "had every right to talk about me" and that the family members wouldn't know she was talking about me. I was shocked so on my break I went and told my director. The assumption that they all had was they confused me with another nurse who was an experienced nurse and that they were laughing at me because they thought practically I was dump. The next day the assistant director came and apologize claiming they didnt know I was a new grad. Thats when I realized the nurses supervisor and the assistant director were present when the nurse training me made comments about me. I know there are gossips in he workplace but this has created a hostile environment because none of the nurses communicate with me. I am the youngest there and I'm also black and this gossip and unfair treatment I received has traveled facility including different shifts about me, now most of the people know this about me. I dont feel comfortable working there and I want to know if I have a case for for discrimination.
