you are in a unique situation. reminding our leaders of why we chose to serve our fellow man. leaders are usually excellent nurses who are very organized and detail orientated. they may feel that the plans are no brainers but in actuality it is a method of enforcing nursing process and continuing to educate staff. thinking is never a waste, it promotes new ways of communicating. not a chore but a tool - build on iy. be a good cheerleader!!!!
