Question about promotion in the workplace

Hi everyone,

Little background on my situation then the question. First I recently found out I was chosen out of four candidates for a Clinical Nurse 2 promotion at work. Basically I'll be charge nurse unless I have an orientee/student or there's a Clinical Nurse 3 on shift, serve as resource person on shift, man down the floor basically, there's more but that's the run down. One of my friends whos already a CNII was purposely not placed on the panel to avoid any favoring. I've only been on the floor for two years but I get along with everyone from unit clerks, nursing attendants, staff nurses and physicians/pas. So far everyone has been very nice and congratulations all around. I guess I'm worried about the transition into the role. Techinically I've been doing the tasks that are expected from a CNII but just didn't have the job title. So it really shouldn't be any different. BUT my fear is that people will look at me differently and treat me differently. I'm a very open person and most if not all felt they could come to me with a complain without any rumors coming out of it. So my question is how do I deal with the new job title and take on the new role without stepping on anyone? We have a fairly mixed floor with new grads and seniors staff, how do I delagate without being "bossy" or having them take me seriously? I've dealt with all this prior to actually accepting the new position I guess now since I'm "officially" a CNII I'm just second guessing myself.

Thanks!

Thank you Leslie =)

Be fair. Treat everyone the same. Don't ask someone to do something that you are not willing to do yourself. Don't gossip. Be up front. Ask for help when you need it. Ask for feedback and remember to praise in public and criticize in private. Sounds like you are on your way to being a great manager.
