New job: Problem with orientation-VENT

Even though I am a new nurse, I have never had an orientation, like the one I am having on a new job. From the first day, I was instructed to pass out meds. Nevermind I did not know anyone, how people take their meds, etc. Some pt.s I basically had to guess, who needed thier meds crushed. I wasn't walked down halls, room by room, to point out patients. I wasn't even given a census sheet. The people who are orientating me, basically say "go pass the meds". No instruction on policy, procedure, how the facility operates, nada. Not who the diabetics are. I pretty much felt like I was agency. I wasn't shown where things were kept.
Has anyone had an orientation like this. I am a new nurse, but I would think, this isn't the norm. Any suggestion. TIA.

how people take them? ask the patient, no one ever told me how someone took meds!......where stuff is? wander around and look...
