Okay, here is the scenario. My nurse manager has "retired" shall we say and her position needs to be filled. Well, I threw my hat in the ring, thought that would be a good idea considering that I have experience and BSN. What the hay, may as well give it the ole college try right?
In any case, my don states she will interview me, but one thing she has to point out is my poor conflict resolution and delegation skills. Really? How do you resolve conflict when much of the staff are lazy, unprofessional, and inadequately skilled? So, because, I won't let a nurse who puts ear drops in someone's eyes, lead a code, I'm bad at conflict resolution? Or because, I won't stand by with someone who is infarcting, and let the nurse not give him Asa, nitro, and O2, I have poor conflict resolution skills?
Don't get me started on delegation. How can you delegate to a med tech, LPN, or other staff that pays you absolutely no mind? You write them up but to no avail. No consequences, no suspension, no backing from management. Well you know what? You can keep your little Nurse manager position and you know where you can put it!
Sorry, I'm just a little teed off and venting. Thanks for allowing me to vent. Please give me any suggestions, in fact ALL suggestions are welcome.
"the internet doesn't have the benefit of body language, facial expressions, etc. what is often perceived as "the typical attack" is often merely a well-meaning but direct response that lacks sugar coating. your response to the replies you got was, however, deliberately nasty. that speaks to your conflict resolution skills, and i'd agree that they need some improvement."
thank you for your comment, unfortunately, all followers think alike. this speaks to your inability to think for yourself, but keep trying one day you will get there. cheers!
