So I think I need some insight, opinions, advice, something... maybe even just someone to say suck it up and do whats going to work for you. I don't know. I know what I "need" to do I guess I just need to talk about it. I currently work as a Medical Assistant 3 days a week in a town about 25 minutes from my house (only 12 miles but it is all backroads). It pays average for an un-certified medical assistant I suppose, it is $12/Hour. And I live at home so I don't pay rent. But I definately have credit cards I have to pay off, a car loan I pay monthly, a phone bill each month, gas expenses, etc etc. I start NS in almost exactly a year, and I want to pay off my car ($6,500 left) and my 2 credit cards before that point. I want to be as comfortable as possible when the time comes.
Well this doctor that I work for runs her own practice. It is small. It is just her and I, the other MA, a medical biller and a receptionist. I have only been working here for about a month and a half. The doctor asked me at the time of the interview if I was ok with working part-time, she checked with me several times and I kept saying yes because I figured I would just find a 2nd part-time job to fill in. Well, almost 2 months later and I can't find a 2nd job and am barely BARELY paying bills. I can't just ask for more hours because the Dr. only works on the days I am there, she doesnt work the other days so there is nothing for me to do.
I guess I just feel horrible because I haven't been there long and I said it was ok that it was only part-time. I don't want her or anyone at the practice to think this is personal... especially the Dr. I feel extremely guilty and I'm a little afraid they are all going to hate me if/when I put in my two weeks and those last 6 days are going to be hell. My dad and step-mom are really pressuring me to quit and find a full-time job at a hospital, clinic, etc. I have been applying for jobs at hospitals but until this morning I was applying for per-diem. Should I just apply for full-time jobs until I land one and then put in 2 weeks at my current job?
I have always been the one that was more worried about what others were going to say/do/think of me when I put in notice that I'm leaving and not enough about how I feel and what is best for me. I know this but I just feel so horrible. :/
It feels so much better to get it out. Any advice would really be appreciated, I don't even know where to start with this mess.
