Several months ago, the nurse accepted a management position in the neurological care unit. The nurse has been very challenged and stressed and is unsure the position change was the correct choice. What should the nurse do now?
1. Give proper notice and go back to the previous position.
2. Discuss the matter with the director of the unit.
3. Discuss the matter with staff nurses on the unit.
4. Take a few days off to think about the situation.

Rationale 1: Leaving the position without discussing it and thinking about it is not the correct choice.
Rationale 2: Discussing the matter with the director will allow the nurse to assess progress and obtain feedback and assistance in managing the stress of the job.
Rationale 3: Discussing the matter with coworkers is not a good idea as the manager must appear confident and sure in the role.
Rationale 4: The nurse may need to take a few days off to consider options, but this should not be done as a single intervention.
