Thanks for the reply. I was just joking about only liking to work 2/3 days. Actually I love that job and keep asking them for more hours, but there is a dedicated staff that never calls in. The reason i did not like the two clinic jobs I think because of the way the other nurses were so nasty and did not want to precept me (I understand I have to prove myself, But they out right had me stand there and the PA said the the doctor what the hell is she doing here). So that really knocked my confidence at that position. The Pediatrician was so fast paced I was not ready for the fast turnover of patients and was expected to know everything about peds that first day.

I am 33 and a new LPN graduate of 4 months and can not seem to adjust. I have quit 2 jobs after a day in the same month( 1 a pediatricians office, other hematology office- both understaffed, nasty precepts and crazy patient loads) and am on my third job at a nursing home. I have been on orientation for 4 weeks ( which I know is great) and the facility has been wonderful to me. I feel sick to my stomach every day that i have to go and hate it. I cant figure out if its the whole nursing in general or if its being a new grad. I have a per deim job at a drug clinic and love it, but I am only there 2/3 days a month (is that why I love it?) I am becoming discouraged and feel like maybe I am not cut out in nursing. I have lasted at past jobs before being a nurse for 10 + yrs. Has any new grads experienced the same unsettlement and if yes how long before you found your nich? Thanks for your replies.
