1. New job- to quit or not?

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   I don't think they are beneath me, but where I came from we worked together. The ultimate goal is to move the pt to treatment quickly. So we all did our part, what is in our scope, to move the pt quickly. No, they are not allowed to line & lab a...

   Peachtreern, thank you for the conscientious reply. I decided to provide my notice tomorrow. That's a great way to do it. Hopern84, I agree some places are like this with the personality and culture of the nurses. And you can tell when it just won't...

3. New job- to quit or not?

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   I've been through pretty much every one of the top 10 life stressor events and more than half of them occurred in the past 3 years. So I am trying to keep my stress level low and I am not willing to take on anything over the top for a job. I've been ...

4. New job- to quit or not?

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   I called off my shift and will give notice on Monday. It is toxic. I know I'm complaining now but I did not meet one nurse that was happy in her position there. It kinda scares me away knowing that's to come. Causal conversation with my co worker "h...

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   I don't complain at work. I will do whatever is asked of me or thrown at me because I want to learn & get comfortable & think just doing it is the only way to get there. I know I'm letting it all out here but I promise I keep my mouth shut a...

6. Unfair Scheduling

   ViviRN replied to TimeforMe's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately in contract most facilities have a "adapt to meet the needs of the department/facility" clause that excludes them from sticking to any particular schedule or hours. I'd look for another job.

7. Leaving Job While on Orientation

   ViviRN replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

   Hey I'm in a similar situation! I like what I do but I hate the hours & the co workers haven't been very welcoming. Are you giving notice? I am fearful of being black listed.

8. New job- to quit or not?

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   The point to that was, I feel used & taken advantage of. I really don't like the way I am treated there. Perhaps they want me to quit lol it kind of feels like that. They all work OT. Maybe they don't want a full time person because it'll interfe...

   ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

   I need to come to a decision tonight as I am due to go in. I am on the verge of saying "eff it" Agreed about looking out for myself. The night I got no break at all, I documented an IV in the right AC instead of the left. Silly little mistakes but t...

10. New job- to quit or not?

    ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

    I guess I'm just pushed to the edge with stress level. Relocating is stressful in and of itself so add to it adjusting to a night shift and new negative work culture is breaking me down. I think being awake all night is affecting my hormones and maki...

    ViviRN replied to ViviRN's topic in Career Support

    I just realized how crazy that is. I am on 12 hour nights and I don't get a break until 9 hours into my shift. On orientation. There is physically another nurse there and responsible for the assignment with me. Yet I am unable to take a break of any ...

    I am worried about that... "do not hire" The company I am working for now is huge. There is 5 hospitals in network. I planned on transferring to another one in 6 months but it's getting more & more difficult to deal with. I don't think I can mak...

    I made sure I had a couple of months income saved before I moved Incase I didn't get a job right away. Ended up having 3 offers within a week and starting working within 10 days of move so I am ok. I was really worried about the job market which is ...

    Two types of stress- Stress of not having a gaurenteed income & stress of not sleeping & caring for patients while being tortured by preceptors. I'm just dreading this week of no sleep and what it brings from my co workers. Trying not to let ...
