I agree.. it’s been hard since it’s my first job and has made me question if I even want to be a nurse ? wish I had known better when I was applying during school for jobs

Hello everyone, I started an HCA STAR RN program in June and found out that it is not for me. I tried to a to stick it out. 5-6 patient to nurse ratio and usually no tech. High acuity patients. I tried to move floors and was unsuccessful through HR and decided it was best to try and find a different position elsewhere. I feel awful but it’s taken such a toll on my mental health and personal life I just couldn’t take it anymore. has anyone left their first nursing job before working a year? Did you list them on your resume? they informed me I will get a bill for the 4,000 dollar contract I signed for the Star rn program. I did not receive any type of sign on bonus, the contract states if I leave before two years then I am to pay them 4K dollars due to training me. Does anyone have experience with this? ive already gotten 2-3 calls for phone interviews early next week. I’m just not really sure what do say now that I have already left. Any advice is welcomed (and yes I am aware I should have had something lined up before hand?, but I can financially afford to look until I find something)
