So I’ve been a Tele RN for a year and half now. The thing is from about 5 months in my ANM would periodically relay that coworkers have been complaining about me. I would inquire in what ways, but was never given anything in particular and only once was I told “you don’t know your patient’s”. This would happen every other 2-3 weeks. I strives extremely hard to improve this, then it was “ALL the patients are complaining”. When I addressed it finally after about 4 months it stopped.
The issue now is that I notice my assignments are different and I get lower acuity, and even nurses with 5-7 months less experience are getting higher acuity. I asked about it and was told there’s nothing to worry about. My main concern however is that I was placed on a Performance improvement plan. I was placed on it to improve patient and employee interaction (although I’ve had patients try an give me their numbers).
I was told we would meet either weekly/biweekly to discuss the progress, however when I inquire I usually get asked “well how do you feel you are doing”and I say all the ways I feel I’m improving ( this is not asked in a sarcastic tone). The thing I still have no idea how I’m doing. What should I do in this situation?
