Drama at new job

Published

I just started job one month ago at dr office/cancer center and already issues. Couple weeks ago the main doctor who's been there a couple of years got fired. Police escort off premises and no word on why he left. I know they had new company come in to help manage but we have had rotating doctors every week. Today I find out the Nurse Practitioner said she's quitting and only will tell me that she has to work under a doctor for license but don't the travel interim doctors count? It's scary I just started this job and seems like craziness is happening. They tell us they don't plan to close practice but this stuff is crazy. The pts have had time adjusting to all this too. Im just praying I'm not going to be out of job I just joined. I'm sad too because I love the NP I've been working with.

Well I hope you're looking for a job while you're praying because that situation does not sound promising.

All kinds of red flags are telling you that you should not trust this employer. Look up the main doctor's and the rotating doctors' licenses on your state medical board license verification website, don't assume they are licensed and that you are working under legal providers.

Rotating doctors at a cancer treatment center?

Seriously?

Yeah they have had interim travel doctors filling in each week. But I don't know why that wouldn't count for NP to work under unless something else is going on. They've had new management group in the week dr got fired.

Run. away. JMHO. Or at the very least, have your resume ready to go.

Personally I would leave now while you can leave on your own terms. This situation does not sound good.

Is this a rural area?

Hey all..update. Today the new management lady was micromanaging and asking questions about what me and the LPN do, definitely probing into our jobs..made a comment about how much money I'm costing the company and giving the LPN more of my job responsibilities...yeah my resume is handy.

Leave as soon as possible. Nothing good will come out of this.
