That seems very low for a DON. In Michigan salaries range from 78,000 to 100,000/yr.

Dont take the position! That is ridiculous nurse/patient ratios. Keep looking and you'll find something that wont set you up for failure.

What happened to the patient coming before all other things? How could this person sign out meds that she wasted? What about the effects on the patients? Yes 40 patients is alot to manage but it is managable. Been there and done it. Were there no cna's or anyone that could help identify the patients. Signing out patient medications and not giving them is not only illegal but what about patient harm?

i think u have the wrong perception of cena's. ive worked with many through the years and most are among the most compassionate and caring people i know. their job is one of the toughest around...they put up with verbal and physical abuse at work and most just smile and laugh and brush it up as another day done. if u treat people with respect they usually will return it. if they have a bad attitude and some of them do..dont worry they wont last in the profession too long.
