horrible manager? not working smart? terrible leadership?

I like to do everything. I mean in work. When in work, it's like I can't ask people to do things and I end up doing everything. Maybe it's because I can't trust them to do it, or I'm just a perfectionist in work. I really don't know, but it's killing me and I end up having to do everything and getting frustrated! Those who I can trust, I usually will ask them do share with the work, but the newer ones, I'll try not to ask them! And unfortunately, I can't work with only the seniors....
I wish I could just hand over an admission to them and have them do it properly. Sigh... Is it so hard to write an OT slip once you see that the patient is going for surgery? Is it so hard to just note the order??? Perhaps I just suck at ordering people around. You know those people who can just order people around and have everyone do everything? I sometimes admire people like that. So yes, maybe I'm a horrible charge nurse/terrible manager who's not working smart and has zero leadership skills. Sigh...
Oh well. No point sulking and dwelling over my non-existent skills. I think I should just learn how to delegate better and keep working more to improve! In the meantime, I could just do all the work and.. Oh!! I forgot! I snapped at Dr Murli today!! Poor guy.... I didn't mean to! He called at the wrong time and I was already irritated with the previous person from the last call, so I was uber grumpy.. And it was his fault too! He did not identify himself.
I answered "Surgical 2, Joyce speaking.." and he jokingly asked me "what are you rejoicing about??". Obviously I was miffed! So I snapped at him and when he said that he was Dr Murli... Oops...................... Sorry......
