Rationale 1: Satisficing would not involve extra effort to honor requested days off.
Rationale 2: If the nurse manager was satisficing, someone would be hired, even if the fit was not good.
Rationale 3: This is an example of satisficing. An example of not satisficing would be the nurse manager not agreeing with the budget until funding for the beds was provided.
Rationale 4: A nurse manager who is satisficing would provide continued counseling, work with the nurse, make excuses, and retain the nurse on staff.
