the difference is night and day. gone is the sexual harassment (really, and unwanted) and the ridiculously hostile environment.
a few months before i left the old job, the nurse educator (also the sexual harasser) yelled at me for quite some time right at the nurses station, because i had the balls to tell her that what she was doing was both dangerous for the patient and against the explicit orders of the doctor (she was working on the floor that day). i told her i wanted none of it and would not involve myself. she then proceeded to vocally let everyone there know, at the top of her lungs, that i was incompetent, lazy, and not a team player. mind you, this is from a middle manager i was getting this treatment. i let the HR manager know what happened, who is useless, and she called me back a couple of days later and said that the nurse educator wanted to have a meeting to explain her side. i told the HR manager that the educator was just pissed because i constantly spurned her advances and that i had no interest in hearing her BS excuses for bad behavior.
and that was the kind of thing that would happen at least once a month. i nearly came to blows with one of the drs., because the short little prick kept getting in my face.
when i would tell the powers that be that it was dangerous having two therapists work with 12 patients on ventilators, plus another twenty or more patients, they would just shrug their shoulders. it is amazing that someone didn't die due to under-staffing the last couple of months i was there.
they LITERALLY had 80%+ turnover of nurses in the last year i worked there. when i left, it was the final straw for the director of respiratory therapy and he stepped down. since i left, more than half of the RT staff has moved on.
so, yeah, things are much smoother. i love the work i do and i actually make a difference in billing policy and things of that nature. /rant
