Express your concerns-back them up with the reams of literature available
on the topic.  Your new boss may be more willing to listen if you have
literature to back it up.

> Our hospital has been merged with a larger one. We have been told that
parents

classes, to

any of
> the classes. Needless to say, I am quite upset.  Would like some advice
on how

want

give
