My favorite boss was the nurse manager I was assigned to while working as a nurse educator at a large trauma center. She was caring, had a sense of humor, attended to details, a great problem solver, knowledgeable, a advocate for patients and staff, optimistic, a hard worker, an effective communicator, compassionate, and even tempered. We both retired from the medical center at the same time.
My current boss is my favorite. She has been super patient and kind as I have settled into this position the past month. She also asked me what my pronouns are so that she could present a report to the higher ups. I've never been asked and I found that really touching and sweet.
I have been blessed to have numerous "favorite" bosses! My first 2 were Pediatricians that spent the time to educate as well as make the office a very fulfilling environment. The last 3 were compassionate, caring and "hands off". I thrived under their guidance and minimal direction.
AnnArtkop was the best boss ever. She was a role model nurse that was wonderful, and taught me so much in the real nursing world right after I was out of RN school.
