I have been there, my unit was dissolved and was place on Med/Surg. You see I have been a nurse for 22-yrs. all but the first year and a half I have done Pediatrics, well baby nursery, mom/baby and NICU. So I was told I would be treated like a new grad. I started the first week of Sept, and by the 2nd week of Dec. I was let go. I had two different preceptors I feel that the first one didn't like me I really didn't learn much from her the. I was told I would be with the second one which I learned a ton I wish I could have had her first. I was called in weekly the first few meeting was about my attendance which is a story in itself because of went on prior to my transfer. Then I was told by the interim manager and charge nurse I would always struggle in this unit and encouraged me to look for a different job. They decided to see if I could handle being in my own after 12-weeks yeah let's just say that lasted a day and I was put in admin leave and eventually let go. Can I just say that first night on adm. leave was the first time actually got a decent sleep in the past 3-months. As I look back at the situation it was a toxic workplace. The manager and supervisors were actually shocked that I did pick up extra shifts when I was able to in the NICU while orienting on Medical. I am the type of person if u can help out I will. In the 3-months on Medical I really didn't make to many friends, I just didn't fit in there. It has now been 5-month and I feel bad I was let go but I don't miss the stress of if I was going to mess up. I was told that I was not intune with my patients; the day I was let go I could tell you one thing about each of my 6-patients. I hardly was sitting if my patients needed something and the tech was busy I took care of it myself. This whole process has been very difficult, but I used it as a learning experience. I had some really down days and even thought about getting out of nursing, but I love helping and taking care of people.
