Hello everyone. I am an RN who was just promoted to Nursing Supervisor. I am well-liked by majority (there’s one, maybe two people who aren’t fans of mine for personal reasons) of the staff. I am seen as respectful, funny, laid back, and hardworking. I never speak down to LPNs or CNAs and I will always help the CNAs with changes, ambulation, tolieting, bed pans, etc. I am not concerned with maintaining friendships, but am concerned with transitioning to supervisor, how to be seen now as supervisor rather than co-worker, and how to not be seen as “on my high horse” when my new position will require me to ask or tell someone that something needs to be done. I believe it is a real skill to be respected, well liked, and effective at the same time. I’m sure people I have been friendly with during my time there will maybe expect special treatment or favoritism. Does anyone have any experience with this?
