Nurses don't get nearly enough credit for how skilled they are, but when one of your own disrespects your professional judgment, it's time to remind them how valuable nurse opinions really are. This woman certainly tried to make her micromanaging boss rue the day she questioned her skills after maliciously complying with her exact request. Notify you about every decision? Okay.
Deep in the soul of every micromanager is the urge to know every little thing that's going on in the workplace, but realistically, it's not possible. And as a nurse, with multiple nurses on your floor and under your command, it's imperative that you learn how to delegate and trust your employees beneath you because nobody has the kind of bandwidth to micromanage each decision that occurs in an entire hospital wing. So when this nursing team was granted a new manager, they weren't exactly thrilled when the resident nurse lead was distrusting of her workers, demanding that they all report every decision. With every thought and every actionable work task flowing through her pager, this micromanager quickly discovered the value in trusting your workforce.
