hell's_nurse

i have had a similar situation where a position i got into was more like a secretary than being a nurse, hardly any patient contact, filing and writing emails - which is not what they had described at all. this made me completely miserable. I talked to my supervisor and just said this job wasn't the right fit for me and gave adequate notice. why stay in a job that you don't like, especially if you already have one in pocket you will like? you have to watch out for your best interests, just like this facility did when they misrepresented the position to you. and like me, I'm sure you will be extra diligent about all jobs before accepting another one.

one of the best pieces of advice i ever got as a newbie (and i was an A student), was to always respond to calls for help, or trouble, any type of need (I'm on L&D), because that is where you will learn. and I guarantee you that stuck with me and helped. and to this day i offer help. not only was i putting myself out there for things that may be difficult/uncomfortable or "not my job" (as some people would say), but i always learned and it helped me later on. or, if enough people were there i could walk away but know what should happen if i was ever in that scenario.
