Opend

I apologize if the word blackballed offended. This is a term I have heard from reading the posts on these message boards, nurses in the field and others in healthcare that I know. I am not the "typical" student if there is such a thing. My job history is well established in other career fields so my work ethic can definitely be verified along with longevity at those positions. However, this is my first time in a healthcare facility. I started working at 16 and have never been without a job. In my almost 20 years in the workforce I have never had this particular type of experience and still feel very uneasy staying at the facility. Thank you for your reply and advice it is appreciated.

Ok, so I took a job at a healthcare location and have found this is not a good fit. I am still within the probationary period in this position. After doing a LOT of thinking about leaving the position I feel that is the best thing to do. My issue is will leaving after a very short time less than one month cause me issues in finding a job in 2 years after I graduate. Staying seems unfair to the employer and to me. This is causing me a lot of stress. It is not an issue of patient care as I love to perform patient care. It is just obviously not a the right place for me. Being blackballed in the profession is a very real thing and I don't want to have that happen. I am trying to be vague in this post to protect myself but hopefully have given you enough information to offer any advice that may be helpful.
