  1. Coworkers may feel rejected and lose respect for their current jobs.
  2. Peers usually follow friends to new jobs.
  3. Hospital administrators usually hire from within for new units.
  4. Only nurses with respiratory experience can be hired in ICU.

Question 2

The charge nurse on the evening shift has been working on the unit for 14 years. When the unit manager is on vacation, the charge nurse fills in the leadership role.
