 Title: Not My Job

Name: ----------------------- Level: -- Date: August 15, 2020

Barbara Gonzales is a special procedures nurse at a medium-sized community hospital.

She enjoys her position as it allows her to spend additional time with the patients who
have come in for cardiac stress tests. In fact, she enjoys almost all aspects of her job with
the exception of dealing with Dr. Jones, who is invariably late for procedure
appointments. Barbara understands that physicians have full schedules and often must
take additional time with some patients which makes them late for all other appointments
that day. However, in this case, it is not a professional issue that is causing the problem
but rather a personal one. It is widely known among the staff that he is having an affair
with a nurse from the critical care unit and spends time talking with the nurse while on
the job. Barbara does not care who Dr. Jones is having an affair with and feels it is not
her business to judge. However, she resents being brought into the matter, as the doctor
has directed her to tell his waiting patients that he is being held up in an emergency.
1. Is Nurse Gonzales making a big deal over a small matter?

No. Nurse Gonzales is in the right to resent Dr. Jones because his excuse
is unreasonable and unprofessional. All patients deserve to be given the proper
attention in their given time schedules especially if it is an emergency. Dr. Jones
should know that he is a doctor first and when it is time for work, all personal
businesses should come later. Definitely, this is not a small matter because if they
are to make patients wait further, the hospital would be given a bad reputation
causing them fewer patients in the long run.
