inept supervisors

[Plasticgloworm]

I currently work in an ALH, usually passing meds but occasionally on the floor. I am very good at my job because I care about my job. If I'm not sure about a medication, I look it up. I want to know what my patients are receiving, possible side effects, ect. The supervisor I am currently under is completely inept, rude, and unprofessional. She should not be passing medications; it is a safety issue. In the last week alone, she has made 3 med errors. We have a woman on hospice, who has most of her meds in liquid form. Well super-supervisor didn't check because she's lazy and doesn't take her time, and the patient received ativan instead of methadose two :eek:days in a row. She completely forgot to give a patient her AM meds, and she gave a medication (tylenol 3) that had been D/C'd for a week because she didn't look at the MAR before she administered the drug. She refuses to admit any time she makes a mistake, and she wrote my fellow hard worker up for not (!) pulling the tylenol 3 from the day cart as well as the afternoon cart. She also tried to pass it off as she punched the med, but did not give it because she saw that it was D/C'd. She's rude to the residents, rude to her coworkers, and it really starts to get to me sometimes. I love my job, but the workplace is becoming very hostile. I'm trying to find a new job, even though i'll hate to leave all my residents (especially when there are unlicensed individuals passing meds that have no idea what they're doing), but I need to do the best thing for myself.

Anyone else work in a hostile environment? Thanks for the chance to vent, everyone
