Would you use a website "rate your nurse manager"

by Fuzwuz

A fellow staff nurse and I are about to launch this website and we would like your feedback. Although your name would have to be given to register, your name would not be given out. Would you use it? Do you think you would find it helpful? In our years of nursing we have found that many of the in-hospital surveys do not address the subtle ways in managers use their authority to punish. But at the same time this site would allow nurses to reward great managers and hopefully give other managers the opportunity to better themselves.

We appreciate your feedback,

2 staff nurses who have been there.

No way, that is walking a fine line with slander or defamation, IMO. People could post all kinds of things, true or not, which could affect a manager's career negatively. You can bet that if a court order or subpoena was produced, those supposedly anonymous names would be released in a heartbeat!

My only concern is that whenever I look at "Rate (whatever)" websites, even for places or people I know are great, there seem to be an overwhelming number of negative reviews.

I think the people most likely to use a website like what you're proposing would be people who are p***ed off at their manager. Too often these sites become a place for people to blow off steam before they've had time to cool down and think objectively about a situation. I don't know that it would give a balanced view. People don't tend to speak up as much when they're happy as when they're angry.
