I'm having trouble with an inner conflict at my new nursing job and I'd appreciate any input that could help me resolve it.
I have moved from a job (in another state) where the the philosophy of care given was pretty much state-of-the-art. My new job (the only place within 80 miles) is nearer to the care given 30 years ago. There are other things they do like fudging documents and such that I find morally distasteful.
I'm not a real goody-two-shoes but this place makes me nervous at times. Everyone is so flippant and complacent about things and although I'm trying to tell myself, "This is just the way things are here." I still feel visceral tightenings when I learn of something new that rates rather high on the cringe scale.
Has anyone ever worked at a place which was "a step backwards" from their previous job who could give me tips on how to resolve my inner conflict? My preceptor assures me that "This is the way things have always been here and they will never change." I also get this feeling when talking to the Nurse Educator and Supervisor.
