Update
I just wanted to update everyone that things have gotten MUCH better at work these days. Our outpatient director has gotten very involved with our program, and my supervisor has been able to coordinate things amongst the team a lot better over the past month. Our RN, who really has never been into the job resigned, and today was actually her last day. We hired an awesome LPN about a month ago who has worked for the same type of program for a long time, but at a different agency. The outpatient director, as well as my supervisor, have advocated for our program constantly over the past month with the court-program that want us to do all of these impossible tasks. I've actually gotten to have some of the caseworkers of this program who used to give me a really hard time on an almost daily basis, almost come around to my side in a sense. I did this by having a heart to heart with a couple of them I have a fairly good relationship with, and with the help of our outpatient director and my supervisor, of course, who has been having regular contact with their program director. So I think things are slowly beginning to work out, and I am leaning less and less towards leaving. I have spoke with a lot of people who do what I do but for different agencies, and since our program is brand new (a year old) they say this happens with all the teams when they are new (transitioning through staff, getting a ton of difficult clients all at once, being overwhelmed with a ton of paperwork at once, etc.). Also, I found out today that I got a P/T positon working with TBI patients. I am really excited because it is a Service Coordinator position and I can take on as many or as few cases as I want and schedule my time with the clients when I want to. It pays really well to, and I really can use the $$$$$ now that my student loans, as well as car loan, are here, and not going anywhere LOL. I am sure I am going to have days that I absolutely hate what I do, but for now, I think I will continue to "stick it out".
