Okay is ANYONE going to reply to my post..seriously :)

Hey all...just wondering if anyone is working or has worked for either of these hospitals or knows anything about them. Love to know some info about them and the areas...thanks!

Hey Congrats on your offers...really think about both of your offers..do not make any quick decisions..and decide on the BEST one overall. I know I have seen bonuses everywhere but I am not really sure about that..just really look into it.

hey there...I am a new nurse with some experience and have been recently job offered with a 10K sign on bonus plus relocation. This is a rural hospital but does sign on bonus usually mean there is something wrong with the hospital or do rural hospitals offer this usually. Any thoughts are appreciated..thanks!

Hey all...I am a new nurse to the OR and have had several job offers. I was wondering as far as learning experience if a smaller OR was better than a larger hospital OR. I am NEW to the OR and have had absolutely NO experience at all in school. Just wanting some advice...thanks :)

Hey guys update...I got out of there and am VERY glad! In fact right after I left, 2 of the other long time nurses left too. But I have several job offers...now I am deciding on which job I want either SICU or Pre-Op/PACU. I am a new nurse so now I am deciding which job I want...not that I am complaining either.

Yeah I dont think that OR nursing is for me...I dont know if it is because of my HORRIBLE experience or no patient care...or both. But I am definately getting out of there..that is for sure! I had several of the staff on the unit beg me to tell HR or the Nursing Director what is going on in there..it isnt good.

kcmylorn--I agree completely..it is not fun to hear how I dont "fit" constantly. Oh and no I dont work in Med/Surg..actually I wish I did I would be learning valuable nursing skills..no I work in the Operating Room. Like I said earlier, I have NEVER been in an OR in nursing school nor did I learn about the OR in school...so this is my first experience EVER...and now my LAST!

Thanks all for the advice..I needed that..now please pray that I can find another nursing job...not too many of those where I am. But anything is better than what I am going through now!

Kayern--That is good that in your long experience you only lost two nurse for not being a "good fit" because I found out after accepting the job that last year they lost 6 out of the 7 nurses they hired before 6 months. One nurse left the unit after one week. I found out this management is very new and many of the nurses on my unit are encouraging me to tell HR what is going on. Many of the nurses there say it is the worst it has ever been on the unit. But yes everyday I go in I am compared to other nurses..one with experience by the way..and I am told how bad I am. I have been trying to get out for awhile with no success. But I have had enough...I really and truly love nursing...but nothing is worse than what I am going through. I have NEVER experienced anything like this in my whole life..EVER. I specifically went to this job because they promised this extensive training and education. If I would have known all this would have happened...I would have NOT gone. I would not set myself up for failure. I feel being a new grad is tough anyways but I NEED guidance, education, and support and I promise I have had NONE of that. I havent even had a preceptor to help guide me like you had on your unit..that is the problem. I really HATE that my first experience as a nurse is like this! Like I said, I have went over this in my mind..when my manager told me the first week I was there that she did not think I was going to make it on the unit..my heart sank. I honestly wish things were different..this definately was not on my agenda when I took on this job.

Thanks everyone for your support and advice...this whole thing has been a HUGE nightmare! I expected my first nursing experience to be great and this occurs. I have been going over this in my mind like what did I do to this woman for her to do this to me! I have never done or said anything to deserve this..nothing is worse than going to work crying everyday because I am going to be told how terrible I am and in front of the other staff and holding my job over my head everyday. NO MORE..I am taking back my life..and getting the hell out of there.

Hey Kalami08..I have been getting wrote up so now I cannot transfer. It just does not make sense to me..if they want me out so bad you think they would be trying to get me transferred. Why would they try to hold me there by continuing to write me up for things I did not do?

Hello all...need help here. I am a new grad nurse who accepted a job because I was promised all this wonderful training and a training class for new grads. I TOLD them in the interview that I was a new grad and had NO experience with this type of nursing nor had any education in school with this specific type of nursing. So they promised me this wonderful training class that I have NOT had or any education for that matter..now 6 months later. Now everyday I go to work and I am told just how bad I am and how the other person they hired is doing so great and how is doing so much better than me. Oh FYI, this other persons dad is a personal friend of the manager. They have catered to the other co worker while I get the shaft. Also, the first week on the job this assist. manager tells me that she didnt think I was going to make it on the unit. I wonder why they hired me! I have always loved nursing and have done very well in school in clinicals. Anyways, now the assist. manager is making up things to get me wrote up. I have NEVER been wrote up in my life!!! The last job I left to go there went GREAT and I NEVER had a write up and always had SUPERIOR reviews. I have been trying to look for nursing jobs else where and have had no luck yet but I do think that this place will fire me if I stay. The managers have repeatedly told me that they dont think I fit there...but you would think that they would try to get me transferred out like they promised instead of writing me up for things I havent done. Should I quit or wait it out or should I sue them for not following the contract I signed? Any tip or advice would be helpful. Thanks!
