Mel.G.12

I cannot thank you all for all your advise and input. I think the universe knew I needed a new job. Sounds like I’ll be going back to the ambulatory world. Now to let them down easy, I feel a bit guilty to leave so soon. But I rather do it before they invest more in me and trying to make the “nursing office work”

I definitely bit off more than I can chew. I really did not know who to ask so thank you all. I really feel that I need to work for a health institution until I know my full scope and obtain experience.Just being 4 weeks it seems like workers like to sue I don’t wan any part of that. Thank you all

This position did not exist prior to me starting. I think they thought it would be a good idea to have a nurse they just didn’t really what was needed. No medical director no nothing. I am the only medical personnel here.

Yes, I am the only nurse there.

I took a position as an occupational health nurse. I am a new grad but have worked as a medical assistant for 13 years. I took this position thinking it would be great to incorporate all that I have learned. I have been here for 4 weeks and the company want me to start a “nursing office” from scratch. No protocols in place nothing this position did not exist prior to my coming on board. It would only be me triaging and treating minor injuries. There is no physician onsite for major injuries we refer out to a clinic. I am afraid of the legalities with this position especially because I am not fully familiar with my scope in this area. It seems like employees here sue often as well. Even though I’ve haven’t fully taken my role I’ve already had to have 911 called and send someone to the ER. What are your thoughts?
