My coworkers are jerks, should I tell my boss?

I've worked for the same hospital for awhile now and I just transferred to another unit (I wanted another shift and it was available on the new unit). There are these two other nurses that I work with now who are unbearable.



For one thing, every conversation they have is about other people. They sit there and talk bad about everyone. Every time someone leaves the nurses' station they start in on them. And the things they say are really awful. One nurse brought in pictures of her 12 years daughter and the second she was out of earshot they started talking about how fat and ugly the girl was. Then they try and get you in on it. They were asking me if I liked a particular nurse and I tried to change the subject (I said something along the lines of ';I don't know her that well. She seems okay';). They could not take a hint .They would not let it go. They just kept talking about all these things she did or said. I mentioned it to a nurse from my old unit and she said that they try to get you to say stuff and then they go and tell the other person what you said. I kind of had an idea that they might so I don't say anything. I mean, I don't talk about people anyway, but I don't trust them as far as I can throw them.



Then there's the pranks. They sent one nurse on a wild goose chase across the hospital. They put vaseline on the phone and then told another they had a phone call.



They also do that thing where they say something mean like they're joking, but you really kind of get the idea that they're really just trying to say it.



Anyway, I have my review coming up and I have no idea what to say to my boss. My old job has already been filled, so I want to transfer to another unit. I don't want to come across like I can't get along with my coworkers and I don't want to get them in trouble (okay, I'd actually love that, but I don't want to be known as someone who snitches). And if the transfer doesn't go through I'm stuck working with them. What should I say to my boss?My coworkers are jerks, should I tell my boss?
Document the inappropriate behavior accurately and present it in a formal complaint to your supervisor.My coworkers are jerks, should I tell my boss?
That's tough. I used to work with some people like that at Foxwoods Casino ( I called them The Kindergarten Crew- Ha Ha ) I dealt with it for quite a while but in the end decided to go back to a job I had years before building Nuclear Submarines and when I left made it a point at the last meeting to thank them for giving me the push I needed to get away and let them know that I was going from 10.89 an hour to 19.87 ,which is more than my Manager made at the time.I have to admit it was SWEET ! These people will try to destroy you and bring you DOWN to their level. Just bear it and keep your eyes and ears open for a chance to get something else.Easier said than done- I know,but you spend MUCH of your life at your job and should be at peace and happy there. It is now 6 years later and I am still building my ( our country's) boats , own my own home ,and making GOOD money.
