A nurse plans to work in a rural hospital and commute from her suburban home. What response by the nursing manager is best?
a. "Are you sure that long commute won't be too much for you?"
b. "Living that far away won't work with being on call on your days off."
c. "That arrangement will give you the best of both worlds."
d. "You should seriously consider moving into this community."
D
Nurses need to be seen as part of the community in order to be accepted and trusted. The manager should suggest the nurse move into the community.
The commute time is not the issue; building the community's trust is.
The nurse may or may not be on call, but that is not the issue; the issue is gaining the community's trust.
Although having the "best of both worlds" may be good for the nurse, it will not generate the community's trust.
