Thank you responding. The job was on a med/sug floor. I was expected to handle 8 to 10 patients with no help. I was assigned all total care patients. I worked my butt off. I still love nursing. If I file for unemployment will employers find out about my employment history? Or what about the state board of nursing? I have never been fired from a job.

I see that other people are in the same boat. But, you have great suggestions. Thank you. I wish everyone out there Good Luck.

I am in the same boat. I was given an option of fired or resign in my 6th week of orientation. The reason changed several times in the conversation. I will get a negative reference, if I do not give a 30 day notice. I was told that I had to leave immediately. If i pick fired, then they will make sure that I never work in an acute hospital again, threaten my license, and make it hard for me to get unemployment. I took the job out of desperation for experience. The hospital has a huge turnover rate, and I knew immediately the reasons. It was a horrible place to gain experience. My patient had an allergic reaction, and it was not my fault. But, they said that they will make my life a nightmare. My first job and I am horrified. Any suggestions. I picked fired, because I need the money and they were threatening me. So, I felt that I had nothing to loose.

Hello Biloxi! I am in Mobile, and I graduated two years ago. I do not have a job yet. I have applied in Al, Ms, and La, and nothing. I do not get it, but I am in the same boat. (along with many others.) I do wish you the best of luck.
