Hi, I am from Toronto, Canada. I am an IEN who went through the process of getting Canadian RN license and have been working in ICU for 3 years now. One of my relatives who is also an IEN recently migrated to Canada and has been living in the same apartment building as mine. She was looking for a job. My unit was hiring a person support worker. I talked to my manager about her interest in the position. I assumed she would be very grateful for the job and would work with great work ethics. It is hard to find job in Toronto right now and this position not only pays well but also provide best exposure to be oriented to nursing in Canada. It would be an ideal stepping stone position for her nursing career in Canada. Therefore while talking to my manager I kind of said I can guarantee her work ethics which I now feel I shouldn't have said. I had never worked with her and didn't quite know her personally or professionally. My manager ended up hiring her. I was happy for her. She has just worked for a few months now. She is doing opposite of what I thought she would do. She shows up to work 5-15 minutes late and leaves early. She hides in a corner and plays with phone at work. What disgusted me the worst was I saw hospital soap, garbage liners and other supplies in her apartment. This is a big hospital and our unit is quite big with lots of staff. I am not sure if my manager has seen what I have been seeing. I am wondering what my manager is thinking of me if he has noticed her work attitude. I tried to politely and professionally suggest her not to take job for granted but she didn't take it well. I don't know how to act in this situation. I didn't want to argue. I just referred her; I am not her manager or anything to discipline her. I don't think talking to the manager would be professional either. Should I just let it go? I feel like my manager will never trust my recommendation again. What would you do in this situation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks ?
