I don't think she's actually bad, I just think she hasn't had a chance to train me. In all fairness to her, she's been managing two humongous clinics for the last couple months and has been splitting her time between the two. Also, there is a person here who used to be charge nurse but for her own personal reasons, has a difficult time finding time to train me. It was sort of by mutual agreement between myself and the manager that it was going to be baptism by fire. And honestly, I think she has actually just had that much faith in me that I can/will figure it out.
Either way, she's gone now. Her last day was the Friday before Halloween, and now she no longer has to split her time between two clinics. For me, that means no official manager, and that some of the time, I'm THE person in charge (not a little daunting at times). The good part is that the director is stepping in as interim manager and is usually around for 3 days of the week. She was actually our last manager, and the reason I was offered this job (I think), and I get along with her pretty well, so it's been good.
