Is my Career over?

I was hired as a new nurse in a supervisor position but I could not shake the feeling that I needed more experience. I wanted to be a more knowledgeable resource for my staff. So I started school to get my BSN and got a job in a local hospital. Leaving a very good job behind. I loved it, I was learning so much! To my dismay It didn't work out, after only four months 2 co-workers went behind my back to the manager and put complaints against me for talking to much about my personal life and added a few non-truths about med pass and documentation to make me look like I couldn't do the job. The manager never investigated my notes to see if the claims were true, or she would have seen the lies for what they were. I was told I would fail probation or I could choose to resign. I took the option to resign. I was lucky enough to get a job in another local hospital right away, but I was still depressed over what happened at the first hospital. Because I was too depressed about the situation didn't want t have to discuss it in future interviews, I made a huge mistake, I left the first hospital off my job history, so when HR got wind of it I was terminated for omission. Now I have no job, and I'm so frustrated. Is my Career over? Is there any hope for recovery from this?

Your career is not over...and never lie. You "left" orientation because it was not a "good fit". The previous facility? You are better off without them

I am sorry you are going through this.....((HUGS))

You can still pick yourself up and recover from this.

Lesson learned - NEVER omit a job from your job history because it will show up when they run the background check that is required for all healthcare jobs. This is a frequent post here on AN from other folks who find themselves in the same situation.
