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.
Hope this finds you feeling better today, and that your situation is looking better as well. Do NOT allow this to mess with your head or your self confidence!
I have replied to your original post about this in the renal/dialysis forum.
Again, I feel this was their way of getting rid of the "professional" in order to have their little playground back to the way it was. Very sad. You would have been such an asset to that unit.
Wish you only the best and hope you find something SOON !
Please keep us updated. Lots of (((HUGS))) coming your way. :kiss

Things have a way of working themselves out...I had a friend that got a position at a dialysis center, and they didn't want to train her, wanted her to document what care she didn't provide...really it was a mess.

Have you thought about going back to your old job? I just did that recently & am using the job as a home base until I find something better... after all, it IS a paycheck and you were apparently successful at that job. Just an idea... Good luck in your search. You will be in my thoughts & prayers.
