FIRED!!! OMG what do I do now?

[mtnmom]

I have today resigned by mutual agreement from my new dialysis position of 6 wks. The nurse firing me says that she knew with my background that I probably would not make it and thinks they just hired me b/c they needed a body with an RN license (in so many words)

IT is in some ways a relief b/c it was a very toxic and unprofessional environment in my opinion...I still tried very hard and loved my pts and wanted it to work!!! I am bitter somewhat that I let myself be lured away from a stable job and good money just for the promise of a better schedule (which by the way was not what I was initially promised)

Now I have to look for a job, as primary breadwinner (my husband has a very low-paying job) I cannot just sit on my hind end and cry about it. There is no time for that.

I have never had anything like this happen and I have been in the work force since I was a teenager 30+ years....if you can spare a prayer or a good thought for me please do.

And I just realized it is Friday the 13th. That has never been a problem day before, but this morning I came SOOO close to hitting a deer, almost wiped out for good. Should have known the rest of the day would not be better.

Lord, give me strength (and a job!)

I am so sorry, sounds like you need a better working environment. Best wishes to you in your hunt. You seem to have the right attitude going so that is good.

It doesn't sound like you were very wanted in this position to start with. In this regard your prayers may have been answered.

Inquire about getting your former position back.

All the best to you Mtnmom.

Jess is right, you do have the right attitude. That says alot about you that you and to have all of that happen in one day, and you still be so optimistic! Good luck! It can only go up from here! :icon_hug:

Good luck

My heart goes out to you...and prayers too. I hate that this happened to you.Was there some main event that occurred to precipitate this?.It seems the ethics of facilities that employ nurses are going out the window nowadays.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I will pray for you. It will get better. For every door that closes God opens a window.:icon_hug:

thanks to all who have replied. The worst part of all of this is having to deal with my husband. Rather than be sympathetic or show support he is angry with me. We are not in the best financial shape so I'm sure the stress of that is making his reaction worse (plus he always flies off the handle initially and then calms down)

I have one interview next week, waiting to hear about another one, and am scheduled for 2 agency shifts each of the next 2 weeks.

I might have to drop out of school but hopefully not. Right now I just want to find time to have a good cry.

It does help to know you all are out there behind me. Thanks and love to you all. keep your prayers coming. they will have to help.

When you get fired for any reason it's a real blow to the ego. Don't let it get to you. The best job I ever had came as a result of a termination I received. So like jennaga said, maybe this was meant to be. Keep your chin up, you have a lot of people out here caring about you and your family.
