Mixed messages

We have a fledgling nurse manager on one of the rehab units. He/she's getting his/her feet wet. It's been nearly a year.

He/she has gone on record saying he/she'd really like to develop the people on his/her unit.

We work in a CARF certified rehab facility and someone today actually told me, "I want to get certified." Hooray! (There is an ulterior motive: our facility pays you a bonus to get certified.)

However, the next thing out of this person's mouth was that the "nurse manager says I shouldn't do it, because I don't want to be here forever."

I wanted to plant my head firmly into the desk, but I did not.

Looks like someone may need to attend a seminar on developing your staff soon at the Hotel.

Stay tuned...
