OK, imagine if you will....
You are a happy person with a good sense of humor but...
You're surrounded by unhappy people, in an unhappy environment.
There are just enough lazy people and jackass physicians to add to the problem, and when you ask anyone that matters about the way you've been treated, the answers are: "Well, I know [whomever] can be a bear sometimes but they ARE the physician" , etc, and so on, as you wonder if this pseudo-caste system will ever go away...
or "Well, I know it's difficult, but you only have 7 more months to go and that's something to look forward to..." or other canned corporate answer.
Then you find that due to hospital policy, you cannot undo a department transfer [re: mistake; go back, go back!!] because you have to stay in said department for a year.
Then,
Having exhausted all resources, human resources, employment services, my manager, begging at other managers doors, and any other viable option to undo what's been done.... you finally realize your only option to end the unhappiness.
So my question is:
As a [year old] ICU nurse with some experience in a really rough, disorganized ER, where would you go? Volunteer or paid, doesn't matter... [well, I'll need food and shelter at least]... it's about doing good and being around team players that truly WANT to help others, and where the patient actually WANTS your help...
Does that exist in the US anymore? Has our white secular eurocentric corporate culture eaten the heads of every thinking or caring person?
I know travel is an option, as is just getting another job, but let's play devil's advocate and assume my luck nets a travel job in an understaffed, under appreciated place, and for the other job approach, I live in the sticks with no real choice.
I'd love to hear your ideas!
thanks
