Ughhh, I so feel your pain. I just moved to a new state in new hospital that is supposed to be "all that"......and I just hate it. I've been there 2 months and am already thinking about other jobs. I just have no time for looking right now. I hate going into work too I also feel like I'm committing career suicide if I leave after 90 days or so. My last job was just so awesome....I'm afraid I won't find anything like it here locally where we live now. Anyway, I just wanted you to know, you are not alone.

Update on my post:

As I am sitting here typing my update, I have come to realize my new career is as a Barista at Starbucks! What a happy job that would be!

Nothing new to report, just more of the same, more isolation. I have emotinally left this place, showing up in body and mind only. I'm sure it shows, I no longer care about anything more than making sure my patients are safe, cared for and getting through my 12 hours.

Thanks for all the kind words. I really appreciate this forum, but also find it so sad how many of us have toxic work environments. Tragic.

Something I have learned from the oilfield:

Every work place will have different procedures and slight variations to how things are done. The end goal may be the same, but the road there has different bends and turns. It is crucial in almost any job to have people going the same way and on the same road. Keep in mind that you are in their world, and you are the new person, regardless of your previous status.

One thing you NEVER want to say, regardless of how experienced you are:

"Well, this is how we did it at my last job."

Be open to how they run things. Their preference of new nurses show that they like things done a specific way, asking how they do things instead of telling them how you do things may help you fit in

You can always learn something new, especially when you change jobs

Hope things work out, and wishing you the best
