A RN on a M/S unit was recently 'asked to resign' .....I heard thru the grapevine that 'her skill level wasn't high enough' was the reason the manager gave. However I know it had to do with something else - however that is besides the point. This RN had been there over 1 year. I think it is a loaded statement IMHO but it got me thinking....and btw there are LPN's employed on this unit.
I guess it has to do with the whole education vs. experience issue.....what ensures a 'skill level high enough for acute care?'
Any thoughts?
