"Eat the young"

Last week we had a small problem in the unit. We were given a new nurse manager, but she was a little younger and not that old in nursing. So did we "eat the young" as they say? and pick on the youngest? Not really, but she did get a request for a meeting from the older ones and we gave her a piece of our mind. Not that we feel superior, but what was supposed to be our team leader became some sort of a policeman. Do this do that, you didnt do this, etc. And she said she had to work overtime so we wouldnt get in trouble because of the sloppy work. Of course that was the end of that. The moral I guess is, we have to learn to work together and to be a good manager, you have to be a team player. I told her she was missing the forest for the trees, seeing all the minute details and not seeing the real work we were doing maintaining the unit safe and the patients safe, not having medication errors and not getting injuries and missing patients. The one thing we were glad was we talked to her and didnt go to our superiors like we were told.
