Hi everyone, any advice would be appreciated.
It happened two months ago.
After 6 months working in a rehab center, I found a job in Med/Surg unit in a hospital Apr, 2008. To make the story short, I had to resigned after 6 months.
In September My boss called me to her office and threatened to terminate me if I "don't make progress" because there was a pt complained that I forced him to take medicine (I didn't remember forced him to take medicine, I told him "it's up to you". But, there were only I and the patient, no witness)
then my boss mentioned two more mistakes I had in Jun/July
My blood draw was contaminated; (that was my first blood draw and I never had any problem after then on)
I didn't give 4am's antibiotics because I though I should get the trough result; (again, my first mistake and never had some mistake again from then on)
I had bad luck one month later. It became extremely busy after 8pm--I suddenly had one discharge, 1 new admission from ER (and just after I took report the pt was send to me already, which was too fast), plus another 3. And among these three pts, one complain migraine headache ask for pain med, unluckily I found there was none in pixel, it was every 2 hours PRN meds but there was no stock! so I faxed order to pharmacy; and another pt, a very young girl also ask for pain meds at this time, but she had her q 3 hours demerol at 7pm, so I explained to her. she didn't listen; thus couple of times, later even my charge nurse said "I'm not going to her room".
The next day, My boss let me go (offered me to resign) because I had two patient complaints, and "It cannot always happen"
Since my boss warn me to leave I had started to look for job. I applied whatever job listed online, from hospitals to agencies, with no luck, got 6 interviews and failed 6.
It seems those managers don't trust me because I left my job too soon--with only six months hospital experience. Reason to resign I came up with were from "schedule conflict" to "not fit". I cannot convince them to hire me. And where is my next application??
Now I lost my confidence and became so depressed!
Am employable??????? What's wrong with me?
