I had doubts about working at Norwegian American Hospital. It was not preferred choice. My preferred workplace was the National Council of State Boards of Nursing as a content expert. But, with the final interviews, they apparently selected a better candidate. No problem. At least I gave competition to the process.
NAH has been LOUSY!!!! Today marks my 90th day, end of probation and I am preparing to QUIT!!!!
Here are the problems:
#1- I was hired as a "clinical educator". But during the interview, I was informed of my position description being upgraded to a clinical specialist (I am licensed as a clinical specialist).
#2- I was assured of a collaborative agreement (as required as a clinical specialist), but this has not happened.
#3- My office is a ZOO!! There is a crazy co-worker who talks to herself, bitches all day about work, uses the phone on speaker and is incompetent.
#4- The other co-worker checks her voice mail on speaker phone. These folks are so ignorant!!!
#5- There is no evidence of nursing education for the previous years! No content, just pages of PowerPoint, very few attendance sheets as records, no student learning objectives.
#6- The VP / CNO told me at interview they were preparing for Magnet. There is no quality "Magnet" anything there. They are about 5 years from pre-Magnet.
#7- Nursing Orientation was fucked up. Lots of bullshit speakers. But, I cleaned it up!
#8- Nurse Managers are lousy! They have no type of nursing quality assurance program. No QA in nursing at all!
#9- My clinical areas were given to me AFTER I was hired. Behavior mental health, Emergency Nursing and Perioperative Nursing are NOT my specialties. My specialties are burns, dermatology, nursing staff development and continuing education.
#10- They just gave me Nursing QA. I hate Nursing QA!
Well time for me to quit this job. I am currently interviewing.
