Manager denies injured nurse working light duty, despite receiving multiple doctors' notes about her torn Achilles injury, nurse ends up further injuring herself on a shift: 'Surely this manager is responsible?'

Well, that's bound to hit a guilty nerve…After all, it's technically the manager's fault for denying her nursing employee light-duty work after she announced her Achilles injury…When you hurt yourself, doctors will normally tell you to get some rest, not run marathons around the hospital you work at, so you can reach all your patients…Because that will most likely lead to worsening your injury! But this manager seemed to take her chances regarding her employee's limits. Limits that now leave her limping around, searching for her very own nurse.

It's not as if the manager wasn't warned either, she received not one, not two, but multiple doctors' notes regarding the state of her employee's foot. Will choosing to ignore this information put her job on the line…? Because not only was this one nurse affected, but many of her coworkers are feeling uneasy about their manager's 'unethical' choices. Because last time we checked, a hospital is a place that's meant to heal the injured, not contribute to breaking them further…

Either this manager needs to have a serious conversation with HR regarding her ‘management techniques’ or needs to take some real accountability for her actions towards those who seek her guidance. Health should always come before work performance, even when it comes to doctors and nurses…
