Yesterday was supposed to be the arrival of the accreditors who should evaluate our school if it is fit to become a university in 2 years time. Our college of nursing was the most specific college they wanted to evaluate that is why we worked in school last week. Yesterday too, when I went to the emergency room to fetch my colleague, Ms. C, I saw our clinical coordinator approaching me and let me sign the evaluation of students, peers, and supervisors of the wards where I am handling my students. She further said that we must dismiss our group at 2 PM then I and Ms.C should proceed to school to sign the clinical focus that we did last week. When we were there, the dean told us "to put our bags in the cubicle" because we will stay until 6 PM. I said I have to go home because I have an appointment at 4 PM. I left at 3:30 PM, Ms. C stayed behind until 6 PM. Ms. C and I observed that our CC was staring blankly on the wall. We were reading each others' eyes and we confirmed that our CC was so overwhelmed with the work and responsibilities on her shoulders. I received another text message from her at 10:22 last night. I think she is rushing and also wants us part-timers to join her in her huge work load. My colleague confirmed again that last night, the CC was staring blankly, and delayed printing Ms. C's clinical focus. Should you accept responsibilities that you cannot do alone? Or should you share the tasks to others too?
