Well I think I'll talk to my brother about it first because I work with him, get his opinion on the matter. If it does escalate and become worse then I'll try talking to my manager, but I'd feel like a tattle-tale. I'd have more guts to actually go up to them myself and ask them what their problem is, but right now I'm sort of taking the highroad I suppose.

@Dranzer: It's a bit odd that somebody is trying to dig up information on you lol. I'd be concerned about that as well.

Well, it's a bit more involved than that, I was trying to be as vague as possible while still stressing the severity of the situation. In all honesty the person in question is trying to deflect some much deserved negative attention from herself and pin something on me. The reality is she really has no business having a nursing license and everyone is fed up with her. I'm not really worried about any of the lies she's been attempting to spread because no one believes her. What concerns me is the effect her BS could have on the reputation I have set with my patients, which is very good (I say it with confidence, not arrogance) and I'm not about to allow someone to screw that up; I've worked hard for it.

And the highroad is always the best route to travel, it eventually leads to people having much more respect for you on a professional level. Trust me, I know it's not easy - I'm personally not above spitting or hair pulling, but you know I need my paycheck. XD

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. These women have no right to pick on you for any reason at all, let alone the fact that you are younger than them and are 'only' part time. They sound like a jealous pair of nobodies. The main thing is, as hard as it is (I know as I was bullied at school, a lot), don't let them get to you. Remind yourself, as you said, they've peaked and are on the way out.

Have a word with your manager, explain what is happening, and let him/her know that it is affecting you in and outside of work. Keep a log of any incidents and times you feel you are being victimised by these women, and bring these to your manager's attention. Hopefully your situation at work will improve. If not, then go over your manager's head and request a meeting with his/her boss.

I feel fortunate in that I get on with practically everyone at my work, and it is the colleagues that make the job. It's a shame these jealous b*tches with nothing better to do are making your life so difficult. Good luck, and I hope this gets resolved soon.
