Appraising the "boss"

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello! I am new to allnurses.com and would like to introduce myself. My name is Pam and I am the director of nurses for an ambulatory surgery center in Florida. I was wondering if I could get some input regarding how your facility performs annual employee reviews of the director of nurses. My immediate supervisor is our business administrator (no medical background). Suggestions? Thanks so much! Pam

Since you're asking a specific question, I'll move your question to the General Forum.

We go to a website to do a review of our boss.

Our CNO is evaluated by the administrator of the hospital. When things got really bad and the whole nursing staff was up in arms about him (CNO) the union had a series of meetings with management, and also there was an open forum for the nursing staff to air their concerns with the administrator. Things have improved since then.

We use the "I want to Know" survey...not sure if it's something our little institution came up with or something from an outside agency...by the sound of the questions it sounds a little canned so I'm thinking outside...

We don't do it every year, but the years we do it the boss really has to be accountable, come up with an action plan for the areas that are deficient, etc. I work in a small group and several of us were somewhat disgruntled over what was perceived as letting a fellow employee get away with murder (and even rewarding her for it), so we really slammed our boss that year and she was fortunate it was the first bad one she had gotten, otherwise she may have been axed over it. Sadly, we did not know what was going on behind the scenes and that employee was FINALLY gone before the results were even available! I think it led to some constructive changes though.

BTW, welcome!
