Thank you for being nice! People act like they have never accepted a job and then realized it wasn't for them 🙄

Yes obviously I TOOK the job but I HATE the job so there's that. ������

It's not that I'm thinking of bailing! Basically IF my husband is forced to travel with his job I CANT do 3 12s a week because of the childcare issue. My kids are 1,6,7,10. I would like to get an idea as to what options if any I would have when this happens. I have great work ethic, I feel like it would be more respectful to let her know it's a big possibility it may happen now instead of wait until it happens!

Thanks everyone! I guess the only thing I can do is talk to the manager and be honest and see if there are any options available for me. I know with my husband gone mon-fri I can't pull 3 12s unless I find another childcare provider willing to keep my kids that late. I hate to switch sitters though because hey have only gone to this woman and I trust her with my kids. I will keep you all updated!

Thanks everyone! I'm wondering if I can talk to the manager and change my status from full time to part time? That way I'm not really quittting but not doing the 3 12s either. I used to do 4 8s at my old job. Anyways, my husband just found out that starting in Jan he will be traveling again with work and gone mon-fri. We have 4 kids and it's always pretty hard when he's gone mon-fri. Working the 12s I usually don't get home until 8:30-9pm and then in home chilcare provider I'm using is not able to keep my kids that late. SO that is something that was really unexpected! I was thinking I could do 1 day a week possibly? But other than that I just don't like the unit, I'm just uncomfortable, I hate the drive. There are things I was unaware of before I took the position! I just don't know what to do!

I just think that is ridiculous to have to stick out a job that I hate í ½í¸­, but I don't want to be non-rehirable.

Hey everyone! I'm super depressed right now. I left my job doing ltc to a med surg position at a hospital. I figured I would TRY it but I am not liking it 😫. I'm trying to figure out how to get out of it without burning any bridges. I'm sure most people will say "stick it out" but I can't imagine doing so if I hate it! It's just a part of nursing I'm not interested in! I ultimately would love to do labor and delivery or mother infant. Any advice? I was hired full time to do 3 12s.

Hi everyone! I have been a nurse for 5 years and was working in LTC. I recently started working at the hospital on a med surg unit, I have been there about a month, about 3 weeks on the floor. I'm a nervous wreck before each shift and I'm still in orientation. We have 5 patients, and I have pretty much been doing all meds and assessments by myself on all 5 patients. My preceptor believes that we need to just jump in full force to get a feel of what it's like on the floor. I'm doing ok but I have so much anxiety before my shift! Once I get there and get started I'm ok but the night before a shift I dread it. I hope it gets better and I don't want to give up too soon, I'm just wondering if these feelings are normal.?!? I feel like an idiot 1/2 of the time because I don't even know what certain procedures are! Does anyone work on a med surg unit that can relate?
