I know the email wasn't my best idea but it was intended to be a step in resigning. I offered to work my last two weeks, however I would still be in orientation. I also explained that I would send a formal letter of resignation. She did contact via email, saying I accept your resignation, sorry it didn't work out. my email was a last resort and at the time I was pretty devastated. I just wanted some inkling of hope,that i was wrong.thanks for the feedback!

i am a new nurse who worked 4 months on an adolescent unit and decided to quit after a meeting w/ my preceptor and nurse educator. I was told that my performance was inconsistent, sometimes i was on track, sometimes not. Then i was informed "well____, we have already extended your orientation." i was literally speechless, taken off guard, it felt like being warned that i could be fired in a very indirect way. my preceptor wasn't friendly, i had been working w/ her 16 weeks and didn't know her at all and she was agitated most of the time,so I always felt rushed and stressed. if she gave me any postive feedback i don't remember it.my personality ended up being squashed,my voice and confidence gone.i truly felt i was unwanted, but at the same time i wandered what i could have done differently?I need to get another job, but the thought of that experience gives me anxiety. I resigned by e-mail and the reply was like ok sorry it didn't work out.that's it. I at least thought maybe they want to talk w/ me. am i wrong for feeling this way? I just don't know how to get over this. i would appreciate any advice.
