We have a new nurse manager in ou ER. She's been there almost 2 months. She's changed a schedule that was already out,;(I was ok, but other people had to re-arrange appoitments, cx out of PALS etc... a real pain!) She made a date to come in and meet people twice, she cx both times. If I saw her in the hall I wouldn't have any idea who she was. She has made comments on charts as far as qa type issues, sent memo's around about problems but still , the November holiday schedule isn't out. I don't know if I'm being picky or I need to give her a chance. Just seems odd , seems her first priority should be to meet her staff! There are quite a few nurses that are thinking of quiting because they say , it will only go down hill from here . If she's not willing to meet the staff , get concerns etc...then we must not be at the top of her priority list. I went over today to see if the schedule is out yet for Thanksgiving, the ANM said she was there ,,, but being a wee bit irritated, I don't feel I should have to hunt her down to meet her, she should come to us (at least set a time for us to come in )
