Here's my issue. I am transferring from one floor to another within my hospital. My last week on my current floor is this week and I start orientation on my new floor next week. However, I still do not have my schedule from my new Nurse Manager. I have no idea what days I am working when I get to the new floor. I have called, emailed and showed up at my new Nurse Manager's office, but she is never prepared to give me a schedule.
I don't know what to do. I need my schedule. Has anyone ever experienced a manager that is this unorganized?
Any advice on what else I can do?
Thanks!

Sounds like my current manager. I guess if nothing else you are prepared knowing what kind of a leader this person will be. All I can say is be persistent. I am aware my manager is "forgetful" when it is conveinent for them. I communicate via email as much as possible now. This way I always have proof that they said/agreed to something or that they were aware of an issue. I was burned once and learned my lesson with them.
