blackballed

[jwright343]

I cannot prove it, but I know for a fact I've been blackballed by my own bosses at my job. Not only that, I believe they've blackballed me within the entire organization I work for. What are my options? I would to hate to leave the system permanently, but I believe my hands are tied for the moment. Do I have anything I can do legally, etc. hostile work environment?!? I've had interview for the other jobs I've applied to, but any job I've applied for in my current system, I get an IMMEDIATE 'thanks for playing' email. Please help. New grad who has done nothing wrong and doesn't deserve this. Must've hurt someone's feelings inadvertently....

And I absolutely went into Med Surg kicking and screaming. There was much by way of teeth gnashing on my part................ Because I learned so very many things I'd not considered or realized were relevant. And I had to go to another hospital to do it........

You will be a stronger practitioner in the end.

ummmm like!!! double like!!! triple like!!!! I've been trying to think of graceful ways to describe my transition to med/surg..... this is it!

OP... sometimes those of us with experience in other disciplines need to dial it back and start from the beginning just like everyone else.

I too was already IN the hospital months after graduating wondering WHAT THE HECKKKK where's my transfer!?!?!?! why don't they want me blah blah blah... I thought I had a leg up on others.... nope not as much as I thought I did. the only leg up I had was knowing what positions were going up long before they actually were and having the chance to apply. I knew managers, I knew HR... but I was still a "cowboy", a "liability"... and dare I say... A NEW GRAD!! ::gasp::

my most humble moment was the day I realized I couldn't even work a bed on the floor.

good luck with your journey!! your experiences WILL serve you well in the future. You just need to learn how to market them and hone your nursing skills first!
