   I've found the same applies in my job. I think it is a hospital thing and am really ready to move on. No matter what, we are defenseless against any accusations/gossip/drama reported to our directors. Even if they know for a fact that the report is i...

   Just agonizing and very disheartening. I worked so hard to get through school- to pass my boards- etc. even to get the job at this particular hospital, and I feel like a complete failure. Being fired/unfired/ unsure within the first 3 months of pract...
