insubordination

Dont know if that is insubordinate, it doesnt sound like your wisest choice though

Sounds a wee bit insubordinate....or at least guaranteed to anger her. An angry person is seldom willing to compromise. I'm thinking there might be a more diplomatic way to address whatever issues might be at stake.

I would consider that insubordination

I think you have to refuse to do something to be insuboridnate or not take a direct order. Like they might say"Are you refusing to float, or take your assignment." I think with what you stated they may get you for creating a hostile work environment.

Technically burn_out is right. You have to refuse to do something. Though saying what you're writing is probably enough to get them angry enough to make it a moot point :) If you've already said it, then its time to do damage control if you can -and thats not always possible. I'm known for speaking my mind, but many times I take a deep breath (or three) when I'm upset before saying anything -because of just such a problem. :)

Stating such a comment (i.e., that "u" are fed up with her, etc.) will probably set your case (and your cause) back about a bazillion years.

Try a more constructive (and less antagonistic) approach, and see how that works. :)

Just a quick question....what are some things that would constitute being written up for insubordination? What about telling your boss that u are fed up with her and so is everyone else on the unit??

Im not sure if thats insubordination,but its sounds kind of disrespectful.I guess It would depend on the way it was communicated .maybe it should be presented to her in a documented form, also with the opinions of the other staff you mentioned.

I don't know if that is considered insubordination by your employer, but it is unprofessional and shows a lack of communication skills. Try taking some deep breaths and think of a different way to deal with the situation which won't burn any bridges or come back to bite you later. You will be glad you did. I hope things work out for you.

insubordination is to oppose or defy established authority...so I would think it would lay more in the realm of refusing to do something requested of you...I could be wrong though...

Dang, I just spit my Coke all over the screen and woke my DH up laughing my socks off.

So, short answer to your question.... yeah, that'd qualify. (Even if it was true.)

Thank you everyone for your replies....but unfortunately, that did come out of my mouth. But not before myself and another nurse were trying our hardest to get through to her about a certain issue. She just had me soooo beyond frustrated to the point that I let my emotions get the best of me! Talking with her about any issue is like talking to a brick wall. Everyone on my unit is at a complete loss as to what action we take with her. It just seems as if everyone up the chain of command that could possibly help us all scratch each others backs so to speak. Suggestions?? BTW, she is writing me up for "insubordination" however, according to what PRN posted that does not fall under the definition.
