Explanation: 1. Sometimes you take a job that is not right for you. Sometimes you need to allow more time to
adjust and learn the job. Discussing the matter with the director will allow the nurse to assess
his progress, and obtain feedback and assistance in how to manage the stress of the job.
Discussing the matter with coworkers may provide information regarding the manager?s
ability to manage the unit but the manager may obtain biased information.
