  11. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    pedicurn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

  16. Handling chauvinistic male charge nurse

    pedicurn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you assuming I was passed over? I didn't even apply. Have you even read my posts?? I am annoyed because gender has likely played a role in promotion. We are in 2010 ... not

    pedicurn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the evangelical bit may be biased .... however it's an attitude which probably accounts for his less-than-lovely attitude toward us. At the moment he is thinking ' I'm the natural leader of you...

    pedicurn replied to pedicurn's topic in General Nursing

    Just wish to say ...this actually doesn't take up a lot of time and energy. He is less qualified as he only has two years experience. I have worked with this guy as a staff nurse .... he is capable...
