in need of opinions.
i relocated recently and started a position in a local well respected hospital.
same specialty of nursing that I've always done, just different obviously as it's a new shift & facility.
My co workers are not very friendly and I dread going in each shift.
overnight shift sucks as it is, it's 1000x worse without decent company or help.
I have two interviews for day shift at other nearby hospitals in the next two weeks.
due to the way the schedule was made & personal conflicts, I am going to be going 24 hours without sleep for a couple of shifts this week.
Additionally I am being put through hell every shift i go in. I am still technically orientating to the hospital but I am working the floor with a preceptor & I almost feel like I am being hazed being the new person.
Of course everything takes me slightly longer to do, I am new and do not know exactly where to find what I need on the floor or in the EMR. I don't understand the heavy accent of the doctor on call or know the first names when he refers a consult, or the little things that makes life easier once you're seasoned at a facility. Instead of helping it's an eye roll and "you better get used to it."
anyway, I am contemplating not going back because it is so bad and just going on my interviews for the new jobs on day shift.
i am confident I will be hired at one because I interviewed at their sister hospital and had my foot in the door but declined for my current position due to more pay and closer to home.
Now they have an opening on day shift 10 mins from my house so I am going back to interview with a director of nursing then scheduled to go directly to HR after interview.
so my question is-
would you all go back for a week of hell or just say screw it & quit?
either way I'm sure I won't be on good standing because I am leaving so soon after hire... I am still technically on orientation.
i just can tell the overnight shift isn't for me especially with the lack of team players & decent co workers.
