\u00a0<\/span>You are fortunate to have had such a leader so early in your career. The support that she gave you as an employee, student, and a new mom is commendable. I know that you are a new nurse, but how do you think that you can demonstrate this type of leadership in your daily work life now? Good use of your APA formatting.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u202fI try to draw from my own experiences with my previous manager when dealing with issues in my new unit. There is a lot of silly conflict and cattiness in the unit I work on. I’ve called people out on it before by simply stating both sides of the argument and offering help in any way they’d like. I feel that my unwillingness to participate in the cattiness is rubbing off on people and they don’t argue about it as much around me. <\/span><\/p>\n

They also used to give me the hardest patients on the unit and I’ve made sure to fill out acuity on my patients so that the next shift doesn’t receive that load of patients too. Since confronting the issues head-on things seem to be improving. I’ve thought about presenting the contract to my current manager for him to show to the unit, but his style of management is more laissez-faire and I don’t think he’d follow through with it. If things don’t continue to improve I’ll consider showing him again.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds like you had an amazing manager that really cared about her staff and took the time to get to know each one of you. \u202fHaving a great manager has the ability to influence everyone involved in positive ways and can give you confidence. \u202fWorking in a place that has a great leader helps to make work a fun \u202fplace and helps to make your fellow coworkers happy too. \u202fWhich in turn helps to make a healthy work environment. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Great leaders empower their employees and recognize when they are promoting teamwork and creating a positive atmosphere. The idea of a “contract” is wonderful in that your signature holds you accountable to follow a set standard. \u202fIn nursing there is a lot of clicks and cattiness and when a new employee enters the workplace it can be most difficult for them to assimilate. \u202fTeam work in healthcare is the essence of what we do. \u202fWe are all doing the job for a reason and we need to lift each other up so that we can build rapport with each other and know that you are supported and respected. \u202fThis in turn, allows you to provide excellent care. \u202fLeaders can make this happen! \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
