I am in my last semester of school (RN) and will graduate in May. I recently accepted a position as a nurse tech at a local hospital. When I accepted this position, I did it solely on the grounds of wanting to have more experience that what school was giving me. I thought it would be a good learning experience. It is a "pool" position, which only requires that I work 12hrs/month. However, so far, it hasn't been a learning experience at all.
Basically, all I've done are CNA duties. I've only had CNA's to train me. I was under the impression that this was a RN precepted job, but after speaking to several fellow tech's, they too have been placed in the same position doing CNA stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem doing CNA duties, but that isn't why I took the job. I was already pretty proficient at performing the particular duties that I now am being assigned. I was looking for a broader experience that I guess I can't get at this place.
My question is: Since I have only worked a few shifts and am still on orientation, would it look badly for me to quit (giving proper notice, of course)? I don't want to burn bridges with this place, as I may decide to work there after I graduate. However, I don't really want to spend any more time there doing this job, when I can use the time to focus on my studies.
