Love my job, can't stand nursing admin.

Published

I am a relatively new nurse. I have 1 1/2 years of experience where I have learned an amazing amount. I love my job, I love my clients, but the D.O.N. is making all of our lives miserable. It's almost like she goes out of her way to make the working environment as difficult and ridiculous as possible. I have stayed 'out of the fray' for most of the time I have been working there, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to not allow frustration with the administration to seep into the working environment. My clients are amazing and wonderful and I love them, but I am considering looking elsewhere for work. Am I being rash in my judgement? Should I stick it out? I cannot see there being any change in administration any time soon.

Thanks everyone! I do really appreciate all of your input. I would love to vent to all of you about the flawed administration... but it would be, first of all, unprofessional, and secondly, one of you could BE the D.O.N. where I work! So not wise all around. Thanks to all! I'm going to sit tight for now, keep my head down and remember I am there as an advocate for my clients. I will also be putting feelers out for possibilities at the same time. Jumping ship isn't an option in today's economy.
