I hope it's okay to post about this here. I am only a 1.5 year nurse, and due to moving away, I had to look for a new job (left my old job on great terms). I picked up a job as a PRN but the training schedule was hectic and I found myself there about 4 to 5x a week. I discussed this with the educator and manager several times, but little was done. I never did anything wrong I guess, but I didn't do enough to manage the vigorous training schedule. I had to call out twice.
In the one month of my training, I experienced a lot of lateral violence aka nurse bullying. Many times nurses would argue over who was to be working with me that day. A few of them refused to train new nurses and I was moved around a lot. Other times my preceptor made me do everything for her while she sat around chatting. She even asked me to do tasks for other nurses such as start fluids or do admissions, again while they all sat around chatting together. I finally decided to not complete the training and I turned in my resignation letter. My manager was upset with me. Later on that day I got an email I was fired. There were a few other things they did to make me feel unwelcomed and bullied, but I tried to brush it off and complete everything. It finally became too much to handle. I feel really down about why they want to attempt to hurt my career like this, because nothing I did really hurts them. At least that's how I see it. I knew I couldn't complete the training and I let them know. That should have been the end of it right? Not sure.
