Graduating several years ago, she became a nurse because she enjoyed helping others. Lately, Cheryl has been late for work for many shifts, left the floor for long periods of time, on her phone throughout the shift and grumbling to her fellow nurses. Her coworkers were having to take care of her patients on many occasions. She didn’t mean to be disrespectful, but she found fault in nearly everything. She complained about the long hours, protested about having to work holidays and weekends and grumbled when the call lights frequently went off. Although she didn’t intend for patients to overhear her frequent complaints, they often overheard her and mistook them for complaints about patients. Her coworkers avoided sitting near her at the nurse’s station. 1. What is your interpretation of the circumstances? What do you think theexperience was like for patients? 2.
