So I started my first nursing job in May at a neuro rehab. Which is mainly traumatic brain injuries. It was my first offer and I jumped on it. The center is incredibly short staffed. Short on nurses and short on cnas. I am the only nurse since I started to complete orientation with out quitting. On my third day of orientation I was left to care for 8 patients all on my own. Mind you I am fresh out of school. Out of my five weeks of "orientation" I was with a "preceptor" maybe 5 times, if that. I feel like I learned nothing, and when I voiced this concern to the nurse educator she told me I would learn everything when I was off orientation and they couldn't extend my orientation. Since being off orientation I have up to 16 patients. I feel completely over whelmed and my anxiety has been the worst its ever been. I constantly feel that working in this center is jeopardizing my nursing license. There are way more horrible things to say about where I work but this post would be pages long. I went to my primary care and explained the situation he advised that I should quit and he put me on an anxiety med. I had a bad reaction to it and was out of work for several days. The day I went back I was informed that because I was out id have to pick up shifts and work doubles and everyone was so cold to me. The next day before work I had such a bad anxiety attack my husband brought me to the ER. There the doctor put me on a two week medical leave and recommended I get a note from my primary care stating I can no longer work there for medical reasons. I refuse to go back to work there. My concern is will a note from my primary care effect me getting another job? Or will quitting with out a two week notice effect me more?
