Will you leave your first NP job if you are not happy with it? (Not organized orientation, unhappy / anxious supervised doctor( who express their frustration on you) ,constant change in routine/ office hour, cancel& reschedule, unhappy patients because waiting for1-2 hours to be seen, drama every week).

Hard to say. Money and isolation keep me happy at my present job. If I worked with another clinician I'd probably hate it.

Yup. But if you can tolerate it stay at least 6 months. If you think for any reason that patient safety might be compromise or you get any hint of fraudulent billing practices in that clinic you work for then give your 2 wk or 30 day notice and leave. Make sure you have a job lined up though before leaving. Judging from your post, you should have been searching already or have one lined up.

Thanks.

I thought about leaving when I was in 3 months. I'm now on 4 months mark. I just feel terrible fo being scolded every time. Other NPs said I should try not to take personally but I feel depressed & trapped. I recently move to NY and had this job. My doctor said I'm sensitive- I feel like she is never happy with whatever I do. Other think doctor is being doctor. I really want to leave but afraid of not able to get another job.

Run, run, run, run!! Why do nurses and NP's feel they have to put up with this? You are not receiving the respect that is due you. Don't tolerate it. I am lucky because I am in a position where the physicians who I work with respect me and often protect me from others who do not. Yes, it is not good practice to leave before 6 months have gone by. So you need to do some reflection and decide if you can stick it out. Don't sacrifice your mental health for this. There are other jobs out there! Do some research and find a place where you will be valued and treated well. You don't have to put up with anything less. By the way it starts with the orientation, if you get an unorganized mess of an orientation, that is a big red flag that you are in the wrong place. Don't sell yourself short, there is a good job out there waiting for you!

Get out of that job now! You are going to be miserable. But for your own job security hopefully you will have something lined up. You don't have to though. It's seems like a very hostile environment and you don't need to put up with it because you are a professional and you should be treated like one. Don't be afraid. Find a job with a supportive environment. I remember being a new grad not knowing so much... there is definitely a leaning curve that I went through but I read 2 hours a night for the first year about diseases to understand clinical manifestation of diseases in my patients

I wish the expectation was that we came out of NP school more prepared to practice. This is an excellent point and strategy.

OP, I have no intention of ever being micromanaged or nit picked by a physician or anyone else for that matter but I'd also consider if there is anything you can learn from the feedback. Why are your patients having to wait hours to be seen for example? If the other NPs are satisfied with the position and physician's treatment, unless in the off chance they are all a bunch of co-dependent martyrs, consider although this job isn't a good fit for you there is also likely some room for self reflection. Good luck and like others have said I hope you started looking for another position months ago.
