Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I filledo ut an application and got it ready for the mail today...I feel like taking this step is a step in God's direction. I can't work for a place that doesn't support it's staff and even worse doesn't support patient rights and advocacy. It'll be their loss, not mine. I will say I've worked with some great staff, but when it comes down to it all, the management is directing the patient care and that is what is going to shut them down in the end.
I'll let you guys know what happens, hope to get an interview sometime in the next couple weeks. Applying for a position at a little bit bigger, not huge, hospital...would be a 45 minute drive BUT there are some good state land hunting/fishing spots on the way, lol.
