A good nurse manager is:
- Organized
- Quick to respond to communications
- Fair
- Gives time off when requested
- Grants reasonable vacation requests
- Deals with hostile workplace situations
- Doesn't feed into tattletale behavior
- Deals with absenteeism appropriately
- Is flexible
- Avoids favoritism
- Manages to please upper management
I have one of these treasures. I work for a less than ideal, for profit hospital, but as long as my manager stays, I stay.
