Hi, I'm a new member of this org. I got interested to join because I'm so disgusted with how we (in my workplace)are being treated in terms of our job description. I'm working in middle east country. This is my second employment abroad,unfortunately I was assigned in this hospital,during my first 2 yrs,the management was fine but when we got a new Nursing Manager,the nursing environment was totally changed. Although he has a good impression on me but I care for my other colleagues who don't have the voice to open up any concerns. Although, I have vented on him about his attitude towards a certain Charge Midwife whom he is putting into a shift supervisory position. They are of same nationality and obviously He is in favor of those staff of his same nationality. Although til now they don't have anything against me so far but I feel so frustrating to be supervised by a midwife..!!! She is so bossy and sees herself as if someone excellent. She will visit the ward to check our checklist if updated or not,expired meds,proper waste disposal but she will not bother to see the condition and case of the patients. If she sees something like IVF without label,improper waste disposal or an undated item checklist she would report everything to the NM without warning the concerned staff on duty. In this way she is being liked by our NM, hence she is being kept in the post but she doesn't deserve actually the post because she is so rude.She wants to get informed if the staff will go to the bathroom,pharmacy or take our meal.I haven't had any encounter with her yet because she's not coming to visit the ward if I'm on duty because she told me that she trust and believe in my work but I still don't like her.She even argued with most of our Specialist doctors. Our NM liked her because according to him that's how supervisor work in Jordan. Isn't it a nursing profession is higher than a midwifery job?Unless you got a nurse-midwife title..I tried to find reference that would help me with my question but I failed to find,would you guys share your opinion or reference to me? Thanks..looking forward for more replies..God bless

I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things because it sounds like she has been given legitimate authority by someone in the organization with the power to grant it. Suck it up and make nice, or look for a different position. That's my advice.

there are terrible bosses/supervisors in every job, place, and field. The best advice is just to do what they want, or look for a different position so that she won't be your boss anymore. She does sound like a witch, I don't blame you for being frustrated. I don't think it really matters who's "higher" on the professional ladder. But in my short life experience, there's little that can ever be done about a bad boss other than moving on out of there!
