clinic LVN advice please...

[VNNSA]

I'm a new LVN, and worked as an MA before in clinic settings. I interviewed for several offices and took the best offer. 2 weeks into the job I'm miserable already. I hate the drive to and from, and the specialty just doesn't intrest me. I thought it would be intresting to learn vascular because I really enjoyed learning neuro at my last job. But I'm not feeling it, I just can't get intrested. I want to look around but this job is fulltime and I don't even get out at the time I'm suppose to at that. Just gettin started I feel guilty to ask for a day to come in late in case someone calls for an interview. Should I tell them I'm still looking? I did accept the job and said I was done interviewing at the time.

It doesn't help that the person trainning me is alot older and talks to me like I just got out of high school.:angryfire

What if I say something and nobody calls me because lack of experience?

If you have not been there long, you can give a two week notice and never mention on your resume that you worked in this place. I'd give it a bit of time, though, say another few weeks to see if what you and your co-workers are experiencing adjustment phases. It takes a bit of time for people to get used to each other and know what limits each individual has. Good luck!

Thanks for the encouraging words. Today was alot better. I am definetly not leaving there without having something else lined up. I couldn't even sleep last night dreading to go back today, but I'm hanging in there.:zzzzz

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. Hopefully, it will start getting better.

I'm a new LPN and looking for my first job. Maybe you can offer me some advice. What were you looking for in a job? Now that you have a job, is there anything you wish you would have considered?

I started out with my first 5 most desired jobs because they were close to home with gas prices and already suffering with my husbands commute to work. When they didn't call I was very discouraged after 3 weeks of waiting. But I decided I needed to cast a bigger net, taking my lack of experience in mind I gave in. I only applied to doctors offices because I didn't want to waste my time with places I wasn't intrested in. I wanted Mon-Fri 8-5, busy, pediatrics and good benefits. My new job was the first to call me then other places after, but I noticed they were rooting for me to find whatever I was looking for and were out to impress me instead of me impressing them. They kept up great communication and offered me more than the others right off the bat without negotiating. That was the deal maker because others were low balling me and I had to neg for a dollar more which was still lower than I was wanting. I just completed my actual first week and I'm staying put. It's not pedi, it's geriatrics which I hate, but with this specialty under my belt I'll be worth more. Plus the benefits are better than I was looking for, with opportunites to get additional certifications paid.

Hope this info helped..God Bless:)

Oh man, I already caught something from a patient coughing all over me, gross. I hate geriatrics! I'm home sick feeling horrible, flu like symptoms and possibly strep throat. I have another interview on Tuesday. Please Lord give me the words to nail it.
