When I had an interview with the manager the second time, she talked to my co-workers. I had a couple of co-workers who do not like me. I can be blunt and assertive, and they did not like it. The manager said that I was a bully, but she would hire me, the only way I would not stay if I did not have the skills to make it in the unit. I never forget when my preceptor told me that not everyone make it in this unit. I was determined to make it. Everyday the preceptor would get meaner and meaner each day. She tell what to do with my patient, and then she would leave the room. I would get yelled at if something was done wrong. Also, our growers and feeders are on a different unit, I went there for one day, when I got there the nurse I was with told me which patients I wanted, I told her I am here to orientate and please let me see what you do on this unit. The unit reported me said that I had an attitude when they asked for my name, my manager said at that time told me that see knew it was me. I was in a no win situation.

Yeah, I did leave the unit, but decided not to go to HR. I had several people warn me about the unit. I shouldhave listened.

I thought about going to HR about my experience.

I am a nurse with ten years experience as an adult nurse and pediatrics. I transferred to NICU, and was really excited, but as time went by I left, and went back to my old unit.

Hello everyone, During orientation is it not unusual to be tested to see if you have what it takes to make in NICU? Tested I mean getting yelled at, told your skills are not good, told that you are not a nice person, and this may not be the right place for you.
