I did quit in orientation. I was orienting at a LTC facility and found several parts of this job were not what I wanted at all. Feces on a G-tube, a dangling PICC line not covered at all, no snacks or drinks for a diabetic patient with very low blood sugar. I only was to have 3 days orientation and was supposed to work this weekend by myself. With little to no experience. I was to have a patient with a trach, I have never performed trach care/suctioning. And they informed me I was the only RN (brand new RN) the rest were LPN's. And to top it off 26 other patients that took approximately 5 hours to pass meds. No patient interaction, just pass meds. No time to get to know your patients. I was the one in charge, and did not have any experience. I was choking. I just got my license and I don't want to lose it already. So I told them the job was not for me, I didn't tell them all that I had seen because I'm sure there used to it and it wouldn't of made a difference anyway. My advice to you, get out now. It's not going to get any better. Do what you can live with and what makes YOU happy.
