Ok, so I left my nice comfortable RN position back in January, started at a facility which did not share the same vision I shared for myself so I immediately began job searching, 2 months later I find a job that offers more structure, is computerized, etc..., I accept the position and start working at this new facility, only to find out that the facility is strapped for cash and is having diffculty making it's pay roll, now I feel stupid for leaving my other job, which if nothing else was secure. I'm working with a collaborating physician who is psycho and total Type A and hard on themself which in turn trickles down to me. I'm not sure what to do, I'm trying to stick it out and see what happens but should I just start looking for another possible job offer??? I truly feel like an utter failure because I've already had 2 jobs, please any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't work, so take this FWIW, but wouldn't work in a place that was making me unhappy.

Well, I have been in one horrible job so far and I can feel for you. Don't blame yourself or feel like a failure because of someone else actions! If you don't like where you are, start looking, but it seems pretty tough out there!!

I am a firm believer in embracing what makes a person happy. This environment is obviously toxic and whether you go back to your other job or get a new one, it will be much better. Your old employer would understand....they probably get it more than you know. You are definitely not a loser....you demand a positive, respectful, professional, upbeat environment for yourself....good for you!!! Somebody else will appreciate your skills and energy! All work environments have toxic people, but this place sounds like it is too much....would be too much for me! Best wishes.....let us know where you go

If you still want your previous "comfortable RN" job, you can ask for it back. Mentioned that this experience taught you to be more appreciative of what you had. I've seen people left and came back shortly. Good luck.
