A little background, I came from a facility that has had perfect surveys the last 3 years. I left because I was recruited for a UM position, really liked what the DON said. Needless to say, what was described to me is not the way it really is. Since I have been here (5 months), the state has been in 5 different times on complaints, all the other UM's have resigned, and a total change in admin.
I am beyond frustrated to say the least. Please someone tell me it will get better? My question is, have any of you worked in facilities that operated like this, and were they able to turn it around? I am fighting like hell to get things shaped up, but I swear somedays I feel like I am not even making a dent.
I told hubby this weekend I think I am to the end of the rope and time to leave this ship myself. Sad thing is, I feel horrible for the residents, and the thought of leaving them behind.
