I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

Published

I felt like I should work in med surg to get hospital experience before becoming a NP, so I applied at this local hospital and was hired on the med surg floor. I like the job just fine, but it comes down to money. I couldn't afford to leave my old job (it was a 30% difference in pay between one job and the other) so I foolishly thought I could handle working both jobs. I'm so tired I can't give my new job the kind of dedication I am satisfied with. If I have to choose between one job or the other I will have to keep my old job. I feel awful, because I went through orientation and have worked about 4 shifts. They are even giving me a patient load now (is it normal to have a patient load after 3 days orientation?)

Anyway, I'm supposed to work there 12 hours tomorrow and I don't feel like I can do it. Will they be really mad at me for resigning? Do you think they will expect me to finish orientation? I'm supposed to be in orientation 4-6 weeks. What is the most gracious way to leave?

Should I show up tomorrow? Or send an email?

I need to get out the back, Jack, make a new plan, Stan...thanks for any advice.

Of course you do not have to unsubscribe. I never said you HAVE to, I said that you are WELCOME to as obviously something is upsetting you very much here. Maybe if you would "use your words," as we used to tell our 5-year-olds when I worked day care, you would find yourself less frustrated.

Again, I am asking: enough WHAT? Are you implying that you have read "enough" comments with which you do not agree? Or are you saying that people have posted "enough" in general on this topic?

ENOUGH!!!!

Time to stop engaging one another and return to the original topic.

For anyone who has tired of this thread, it's probably best to unsubscribe rather than continue to be irritated.

Further off-topic posts will be subject to editing or removal.

Thanks.
