Apparently I'm not the only done that way and I'm actually happy in the new unit. You're right, it's a better deal knowing all the areas of the facility

I'm a new nurse at a LTC. It is my first job as an lpn. All of the nurses are kept at their station and only moved if someone else is on vacation, absent in another unit, etc. I have been the nurse on the same unit for 17 days and have been on my own 14 of those...then today I go in for my shift 3-11 and I find out that I've been moved to another unit. The night nurse told me last Thursday she would be working D unit (I'm on A unit). Guess where I'm at? I'm on D unit instead of her. The DON and scheduler said I have done nothing wrong but that it was due to schedule changes. The nurse on my unit (A) is drama and no one like her because she's a back stabber...yet I'm the one moved and I feel betrayed because I had gotten used to my unit/my rsds. I don't know how to feel. I feel as if, A: the other nurse wanted my unit because she's used to it and didn't want to start at another new unit, or B: I did something but DON is not telling me... however, she said I didn't do anything and that I'm a good nurse/haven't had any complaints, etc. I feel so disappointed, especially because all the other nurses are at their usual unit yet I get to start all over again just like I did when I started on A unit 17 days ago.
