Failed Orientation

Literally going through this right now. Except I wasn't even given a chance to be successful. My lack of progress was due to nurses not wanting to teach me. I was thrown around from preceptors and everyone had their own way of doing things so I would get yelled at for doing something wrong that was right to someone else. I'm now working on the inpatient unit and I don't enjoy it at all. But I don't have a choice it's that or a quit and I don't have anywhere else to go. 

Don't leave your job in the ED off your resume or application. It's your only experience. Work on your present unit. Gain some experience. As nurses we are always learning. You can pick up some new tips, time management, working with others.

if you go into work with a chip on your shoulder, no one will want to work with you. You were comfortable with your co workers and yes you're starting over, but try to look on the bright side. You will be more successful at the next ED job, you've learned a lot but there's always more to learn. Especially personalities are tough to learn but you can do it.

for example I was applying for perm job in ca for a hospital I had travelled nurse in. I actually forgot to add a hospital that I had worked in for few weeks which was a sister hospital to the perm job... hr told me it was fraud and explained I just forgot to add it to my resume and I was  still terminated. I was in my first week of orientation had put monies down on apt etc lost a lot of monies. The manager of that er and me both cried. and I regretfully went home jobless.

I think that is awful. People make mistakes... 

And when you are doing your resume, all experts that I have read about, and those that revamped my resume, tell you to leave off your resume anything that does not pertain to the job you are applying for in order to make the information relevant to the position, and easier for the hiring managers to review it quickly. So I can't understand that being considered fraud...
