Hello! I graduated w/ my ADN in Spring of ‘21 and got a spot in an accredited nurse residency program (emergency services specialty) at my local hospital. I did so against my better judgement, but peer and family pressure made it sound like the only thing to do. Now, after 6 months, I know without doubt that the hospital is not for me. No time to get to know patients, unsafe ratios, harried preceptors - not my speed. I have no interest in “sticking it out” for a year, so I plan to apply for private duty and home health jobs until I land a position I like (Bayada offers a new grad residency program, I’ll be applying there for sure). I was a private home health aid in years past and I loved it. It‘s what made a career in nursing appealing to me. As far as my resume - should I even add that I’m currently working at the hospital since it’s only been six months? The residency itself is rather prestigious, they only accept about 15% of applicants. But will admitting that I want to leave a job so soon make prospective employers pass over my application? Anyone out there worked for Bayada lately? Anyone done their residency? I’m sure it varies by location; I’m in Winston-Salem NC. Any insights are welcome! Thanks!
