Hello, Has anyone ever left an RN contract at a hospital early? I had to sign a two year contract at my current hospital and it states I have to pay $15,000 to the hospital if I leave before two years. It seems like a scare tactic to me. I am not a new nurse, but the hospital states this is the cost of my "training". I googled the training company and it only costs the hospital around $600 for the training software max. The hospital is awful, the worst I have ever worked for. I cannot bear the thought of working there for two years and won't risk my license. They also had me sign the contract on false information. They stated they had a great retention rate and rarely had an opening and I started working there and found out they hired 7 new nurses, etc. Has anyone been in this situation? I appreciate any feedback.
