on my way out of my current workplace.

My soon to be ex manager approached me to tell me I’m not allowed to use infusion pumps anymore because the doctor in charge of educating nurses at my current unit never explained that to me.

While true, I never learned to change pumps from any doctor, but from other nurses at another unit, where nurses without accreditation but experience teach nurses that, because otherwise shifts would have to be 14 hours long to be done with.

Same with taking blood samples, specially during emergencies btw.

Several nurses with less experience than me are free to do this, but she singles only me out. This is absolutely NOT retaliation.

Rant over. I guess the correct reaction would be to get the necessary accreditation, something she clearly implied is not going to approve, but I’m soon going to work elsewhere, so time to prepare to convince my new manager I want and need that accreditation and maybe some others as well?

Is this something that benefits me?

    Is this the US? There’s no requirement afaik, unless your employer has a policy in place requiring a specific certification

    Edit: wait, that might be an RN thing. If you’re an LPN there might be restrictions
