Do you feel strongly enough about this to resign? I would go along with the plan if they had not hired the new doctors, but they are flaunting that their excuse to you is a crock. It bears serous reflection about other ways they will treat you in the future. Can your career take a resignation on principle?
I did not work there as a nurse. It's a hospital system that has urgent care clinics. I worked at several departments in the hospital throughout the years. But I never worked at urgent care. From what I've heard they have asked previous nurse practitioners to work as RNs, they all said no. Dummy me said yes initially, although they never trained me to work there, and now they're not letting me say no.

You're being taken advantage of and in the process losing time that you could be gaining experience as an NP

So I was hired as a PNP at a pediatric urgent care. Then COVID happened. I have never been trained to work as an RN at an Urgent Care clinic... but they are forcing me to work as an RN. Are they allowed to do that? I have spoken up about not being OK with this... all that has bought me is a meeting with the director about meeting their standards of behavior. When I talked to my manager, the response was "at this time we need RNs more than we need providers." Let it also be known that 2 new doctors were hired in December. They start this month meanwhile our doctors and myself are not getting our hours as providers. What do you think?
