Getting Thrown Under the Bus

((HUGS)) lay low...bide your time and leave.

Thank you. I have four months to go before I can put in a transfer. I just didn't want to job hop so soon, you know? I was hoping to stick it out for the long haul. I have three semesters left until I graduate, but it just doesn't seem like a viable option.

Will having three transfers in three years look bad? First job was fifteen months, got a promotion after a nice annual performance evaluation, then stuck with my first aide job for nine months, also nice annual performance evaluation, and then transferred because this job was closer to the specialty I love.

What happened? :/

So much. It is awful.

I now know that I have to watch my back and keep my mouth shut; no one can be trusted.

Sharing with co-workers in never a good thing...I'm sorry.

And the thing that gets me was that it was about scheduling problems. It wasn't anything about other coworkers, and yeah, I admit that I made a mistake of sharing my woes with my coworkers. The manager even accused me of being a "pot-stirrer", that "everyone" could tell her "my business" and someone who is unhappy about everything. All I wanted was the hours that I had been promised during the interview. Had I known that people would be going to management and throwing me under the bus like that is crazy.

It almost makes me want to stoop to their level, but I won't.

I agree with Esme12. Just do your job, delight in your patients, and learn from this for your future endeavors. Some places are worse than others to work....but they are not all as you describe. Best wishes to you!!

I have my misgivings on your post. But live and learn.

Care to elaborate? If you have nothing constructive to add, then please stay out of my thread. I'm not in the mood.

I have only come across one nursing floor that I have seen great management, great colleague relations, out of the dozens I have worked on. I hope that I find a good unit one day.

Honey, hang in. And never believe what you're promised on the interview.

Hugs.

I's a thread you started but not your thread exclusively anymore.

It is prudent to be keep your schedule concerns to the proper people.

Honestly, if your issues are all over the unit and the manager hears about it multiple times, well there is going to be fall out.

Best wishes.
