What if someone gives me a not-so-favorable reference bc I resigned? I just can't make up my mind. One nurse I was speaking to told me that she would resign immediately, others are telling me to wait for another job. I really don't know what to do.

landesmummy, did resigning haunt you for future jobs? Were you a new grad?

OK, if I were filling out an online app...could I just specify that I left this job because I felt that my license was in jeopardy, etc.? The nursing lit I've read says that you should never bash a previous job. I'm afraid this will haunt me on future applications because you almost always have to give your sup's name.

We all know what nursing homes are like. My question is, if you worked in this type of a facility as an RN, what would make you resign? Especially if you were in a position where you only had a few months experience and jobs are few and far between...AND you can't trust anyone at this current facility to give you a decent reference?
