Two nurses have recently transferred from the medical/respiratory unit to a newly developed respiratory ICU. The nurse manager fears more nurses will follow because:
1. Coworkers may feel rejected and lose respect for their current jobs.
2. Peers usually follow friends to new jobs.
3. Hospital administrators usually hire from within for new units.
4. Only nurses with respiratory experience can be hired in ICU.

Explanation: 1. There is always the fear that when coworkers transfer to another unit the remaining employees
feel rejected. They question the worth of the work being done on the current unit. The nurse
manager must praise and reward the remaining employees.
