I was in a very similar situation almost a year ago-except my coworkers were pretty openly hostile to me. Level one trauma center, 45 bed M/S unit, 6:1 ratio, really rough management situation. I dreaded going to work. I stayed, grew some extra thick skin and now as my year commitment comes to an end I am so proud that I stayed. When I first got there pretty much no one would speak to me, now I've been approached by my educator to precept (not saying I agree with this) and I'm frequently the one other nurses go to for difficult sticks. I truly didn't think I was going to be able to make it through but it means so much that I proved to myself that I could make it. I still don't love it, I've got a move to the unit in the works but I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I was afforded on my M/S floor.

wanted to let you guys know that the email actually came to my junk file, just a heads up!

I'm an award finalist!!!! Can't remember my facility score but it was Tier one and my debt:income is 180%. I am a staff RN. My contract is signed, just waiting for the secretary to sign as well, I am so unbelievably grateful.
