Thank you all for your comments and support. I won't be able to reply to each one individually. I want to let you know that I have resigned from this nursing home. On a busy morning shift, I was the charge nurse on one floor while the charge nurse on another floor was on sick leave, so I had to handle the work for both floors. On that same day, a new patient was supposed to arrive, and the nurse responsible for admitting new patients was on leave, so that task also fell to me. Early in the morning, I informed the management that I had never been trained to admit new patients and needed assistance. Later, a nurse said she would come to help me. At around 11 a.m., the patient arrived, but the nurse was busy with other tasks and only came to show me how to admit the new patient at 12:30 p.m. While I was admitting the new patient, the doctor called to ask if there were any concerns. I took out the doctor's notebook to tell him, but less than a minute into the conversation, he asked another nurse to take the call, so I handed the phone to another nurse. Later, I received a call from the Director of Care (DOC) wanting to talk to me. I knew I had received another complaint. By the time I finished handling the doctor's orders, it was already the end of my shift. The various assessments for the new patient had to be left for after hours, so I stayed two hours overtime. Since I was working part-time and wouldn't be back for another three days, I chose to complete the task because the nurse responsible for admitting new patients wouldn't be back for a week. The next day, the DOC held a meeting with me regarding the doctor's complaint. This doctor is the medical director, and it was clear that the DOC was afraid to criticize the doctor and instead completely denied my work. He didn't consider the unreasonable workload for RNs, nor did he mention that I had done double the work and admitted a new patient for the first time. He kept saying that I didn't know how to organize or prioritize, and that I should have dealt with the doctor's orders first. In fact, the patient had no urgent issues that day, and the call to the doctor could have been made the next day. As a new nurse, and an international one at that, I didn't have the courage to argue because it was obvious that the DOC was afraid of the doctor and didn't want to offend him. Moreover, my colleagues told me that a doctor had previously complained about another nurse, and the DOC threatened to report that nurse to the nursing association. So I was also very afraid that he would threaten my license. As a result, I resigned.

I recently started my career as a nurse in a nursing home where RNs are only allowed to work as charge nurses. This role has been quite challenging for me, but I have been working extremely hard. My colleagues, patients, and DOC have all praised my dedication and effort. However, there is one doctor who has complained about me three times. Whenever this doctor calls, if I don't immediately know the name of the medication he's referring to, he insists that another nurse take the call. In one instance, he asked me about a patient's eczema, and when I said I would check and get back to him, he had another nurse take over the call. After his three complaints, the DOC, who had always praised my work, suddenly began to criticize everything I did. They claimed they had received negative feedback from patients, colleagues, and doctors. But when I asked what specific feedback my colleagues and patients had given, the DOC couldn't provide any details. It was clear that the main issue stemmed from this one doctor. The DOC stated that I was not meeting the job requirements, citing that I sometimes speak and act too quickly and highlighting the doctor's feedback. I truly feel that they are discriminating against IENs, new nurses, and those for whom English is a second language. I am seriously considering filing a complaint for discrimination.

I started to find a job this year. However, I tried applied many times for hospital job. I even didn't get an interview？ Any one work in London Ontario?
