I'm so sorry that happened to you. I also opted to quit after my 6 month became.a 1 year became a 5 year. But not including time served. It would have been 6.5 years total. My group facilitator (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAMES - PLEASE DO NOT POST NAMES/IDENTIFYING INFO ABOUT OTHERS PER THE TERMS OF SERVICE) was so condescending to so many. It was collective dread. People would have nervous ticks and anxiety sitting there. I had made up meetings in other ones and they were wonderful! So supportive and the groups seemed at ease and genuinely happy. I asked for a transfer and it was denied. I finally had enough and quit. Now there is a discipline record and I've wanted to restart it over and over because I loved my calling. I loved my colleagues. I have since moved states where I hear nicer things about the one here. Also money heavy but I'm more stable now and have work flexibility. I do case management from home but could make exponentially more with my RN. *sigh* I'm just so scarred from the experience.

I wholly feel this. It's absolutely a racket for money. You want to stay employed or ever get reemployed? Jump through these expensive flaming hoops. We don't care if you lose everything in the process. You did this to yourself. Make this a priority. ??‍♀️. I'm not the only one who quit out of mental duress. 3 others quit after me and one I know is STILL in therapy for the "help" they were trying to provide her.

I have total PTSD from my situation. I had to limit where and what times I could work around random tests, meetings.......being berated on a weekly basis and 0 support or feeling uplifted or hopeful. I ended up homeless during covid. I have 20 years experience and barely making over minimum wage at the moment. I miss my vocation. I miss helping people. A good team. Feeling accomplished at the end of the day. Now I feel like a failure.

I was in ramp a few years ago for a med error even though the patients, my colleagues all corroborated my story. Our union rep said tell them you want to go to ramp which I did. 3 years of shelling out hundreds of dollars and going to peer meetings where my psyche was nothing but beat down over and over again. It go to the point I was having severe anxiety even going to them. I was given a return to work date and then that flaming hoop was moved and moved and then moved yet again. I was in financial ruin that that point. I was so fed up and traumatized and ended up with PTSD from it all because they dangle your license in front of you. So after I quit they put a board action on my liscence which I know will be there forever. I miss nursing. I loved it. I was passionate about it and really good at it. I want to restart it but my financial situation is no better and was thinking of moving to TX to be closer to family. Should I start here and then transfer to TX or just wait until I get to tx and just start fresh there? Thanks for reading.

Its just a way to dangle your career over your had while costing exorbitant amounts of money. I was promised to return to work in August last year, then October, then January. I was more emotionally scarred from the process than what I was there for. They just kept jerking my life around and after 3 years I quit because I needed to put myself first. I want to go back into it and restore my license but the same people are running it.
