Hi, I was an ADON of a moderate to small LTC facility in Westchester, County. My DON had no difficulty with assigning me to the units on a daily basis. I worked along side the nurses doing dressings, picking up orders, arranging for transportion etc. I should have asked for an increase in salary. This situation can come into conflict with the routine paper work which is required from a ADON. Additionally agency nurses were assigned to the facility periodically.
