I had the worst day:crying2:.... I started as a RN on nights parttime at a SNF about 6wks ago. I received 1 week of training for the position. Relative 30+ patients so far with the capicity of holding about 40 - 45. Dementia/Alh unit. I have been their about six weeks now. The DON was furious with me about the chart checks. which are done on my shift. I missed some of them which I didn't realize... She yelled at me so bad which is valid reason for missing a couple chart checks, but I thought she crossed the line when she said that I was lazy, untrustworhly, a liar, asked me why I choose night shift, etc... The DON said that I was trained for 5 weeks and I told her that I had about a week. Originally, the training was suppose to be 5-6 weeks. Most RN's working their said that you need at least 3-4 weeks, nothing less.
The nurse training me was so upset that she had to come on nights to train yet another RN which was me for the night shift. Apparently she works dayshift & has trained about 17 people for the position and they left due to these conditions. I should have done the same. Every night that I trained with this nurse was an issue about coming in to train another RN:uhoh3:...
The DON had the nerve to call the nurse that trained me during her hollaring episode with me & PUT THE CALL ON SPEAKER PHONE & YET AGAIN CALLED ME A LIAR with the other nurse on the phone. How professional of her. So I decided to end my employment. The DON called me to come back to work stating everything will be ok, your upset, we can fix this, train with the nurse again... She called me 8x's & even got the HR person to call me on my cell phone using a private number. I finally collected myself & spoke with the DON & said thats ok... I will not be coming back to this facility. She said dont leave... I broke down & cried all the way home. I have to protect my NURS LIC. Any thoughts is appreciated???
