last job.
We all do it. It's very rare that we stay on the same unit, the same location, the same area in nursing. Most of us never come upon that perfect niche the first time, or if we do, situations change, people change, and suddenly, we're the square peg in a round hole and the fit is no longer comfortable.
What was the REAL reason you left your last job, compared to the reason you gave your next employer for leaving your last job?
Real reason:
I left my last job because without warning there was a huge shakeup from Corporate and our DON was fired, the ADON was brand new, the administrator was replaced. Suddenly I had no backup and no authority, and I felt that I was putting my license in jeopardy.
Stated reason:
I loved it there (I really did), but I needed a change, and I felt I was losing my clinical skills.
