I don't mind training new Residents, nurses, or scrubs in the OR but I'll be damned if I'd even try to train an OR Director on the fly, ffs.
In our OR we'd just operate without her & work past her - no time to deal with that. Luckily we have a fantastic DoN, she's an old nurse (about 75) with bleached blonde hair and blue eye shadow, smokes like a freight train and altho she's only about 5'4", she's a freakin' bulldozer.
She's always on our side when it comes to policy, but expects us to do the right thing. Everyone from orderlies to surgeons just love that old woman. She's forgotten more about nursing than most of us will ever know.

Sounds like a good boss.
That’s exactly what we did.
Good. There's no other option besides furthering the original Admin fail.
