Honestly, what would you think?

Specializes in ICU.

I've had this job as an Outcomes manager in a cath lab for about a month and half, don't like the job, but i took it because I needed a job.

First i had a really hard time getting a feel for the role. Then I kind of realized what was wanted of me and I didn't like it.

I'm like the quality control inspector looking for complication and writing them up peer review. My boss, who is incredibly nice wants me to round on the cath lab every day and actually ask the nurses "Any complications today?"

First off if someone rounded on my unit everyday asking me if something had gone wrong, I would feel like they are looking for it and out to get the MD's, even if that wasn't the purpose. I did educate the staff on what I am looking for and I asked if anything comes up like that, please notify me. Also, the NM, lets me know.

But my boss wants me to round everyday with the staff asking for complications and rounding on the floor if the patient ends up in patient asking if there are any complications.

I am by no means comfortable doing this.

Am I being a pansy, or is this innapropriate?
