Yes, I was thinking about that too. This nurse doesn't really have any family and lives alone. Her job is her life and she is looked at like royalty by management. And thank you for your positive vibes.

Thank you for your kind words. I am coming to grips that the hospital culture has gotten worse. It was great that I had a Neuro Residency Program for 6 months before I was in Neuro ICU by myself. Back then older nurses were actually nice and not bullies. I wish there were more residency programs for experienced nurses to get back to bedside. Not for me, but for any other experienced nurse who wants to go back to the hospital.

Thank you for your reply. I think I realized that I don't like bedside nursing. I was able to get my full time position back at the clinic. My husband even understands that my mental health is better than money. Hope all goes well for you.

So I took the leap 2 months ago and left my clinic position for the hospital. A little background about myself I have been a nurse for 15 years. I worked as a Float nurse, Med/Surge, Tele, ICU, and Outpatient PACU, and Clinic nurse.. It has been 5 years since I have done bedside, so I had a lot of trouble remembering things. I only had 1 month of training in the Ambulatory Surgical Center and 1 month of training in PACU. So yesterday I was told I am not progressing and I have 1 week. I said I didn't want to waste their time. And my manager told me HR said for me to resign. Today I did that and asked HR if I could be transferred to another unit. My thoughts are why are preceptor nice to your face, but not behind your back. Also, why did they not tell me how I can improve? And why are older nurses who have been nurses for 35 years always so snippy and crotchety? Can u be transferred to another unit? One more question: do you think I should have stayed in the clinic? I mean I was happier.

Thank you for your response. I think I am going to give 2 weeks. They are not a big corporation/company. It's sad because I am starting to get to know the people even though it's been 9 days. I feel like such a bad person. But my husband keeps telling me it will be all right. I am also in Hawaii which is harder at times because people know each other.

I just wanted feedback from other nurses in the same situation. Thanks for your reply.

You are entitled to your opinion. But right now my husband isn't working and I am the only one getting income. I have bad feelings about waiting, but I also have to worry about both my son and husband. We just moved to a new place and still need to get acclimated to our surroundings.

Yes, that is exactly what my husband said. So I would be given my notice the week before Labor Day.

He said at least it is income. Also, he isn't currently working and basically is depending on me for income.

I just started a position at a Community Clinic and have been there for 4 days. Yesterday, I was offered a Med/Surge Tele position and Ambulatory Care Services/ PACU Position. Both positions have the same rate and is double what I am making now and has better benefits. Also, the nurses are part of a union and may get a raise in rate. I am leaning towards the Ambulatory Care Services/PACU RN position. The thing is my husband wants me to continue working at the clinic until I start at the hospital September 9th. Do you think it's wrong to wait 3 weeks to a month to tell my current job that I am leaving or should I tell them now meaning tomorrow? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Thank you. I feel the same way.

Hello everyone. I am asking advice on my current situation. I am a nurse care coordinator at a primary care physician's office and have been there for 2 years now. The volume is higher than any other office in the medical group. My boss is also mean, condescending and two faced. I have tried to resign once before, but was persuaded to stay. She gave me false promises and never followed through on her word. Now, I have another job offer that I accepted. It would be for another doctor's office. Not that high of a volume. It's a well known company with lots of growth. The benefits are great, there is tuition reimbursement, more vacation days and I would be wearing scrubs. I would be taking a pay cut, but it would definitely pan out in the end. I even negotiated my hours. There isn't any remote work and I may be furloughed if a second wave hits. My current boss asked me to stay. She said she would try to reorganize the workflow of care coordination. So I made a pro and cons list twice and I am leaning towards the new job. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any feedback? Or has anyone ever been in the same situation?
