StaRN payback

Hi, I am actually in the same situation. Just I don't have another job offer. I feel so miserable and I've been wanting to quit. They first told me I was going to have days shift on my first day on the floor. Then at the end of shift my manager told me she needs me at night.

Once I switched to nights, I was paired up with a preceptor who just doesnt let me do anything or explain anything to me. I've tried talking to the preceptor, my Starn Instuctor and manager to switch preceptor but they just tell me there's no one else to precept. I am on my own next week and I haven't even had full pt assignment. I am just not happy at all with my unit, night time is extermely understaffed and there's no team whatssoever. I am ready to just quit but I'm afraid of the payback.

Wasn't there some sort of contract spelling out what the payback would be if you left before two years? I am not familiar with this program, but it seems logical to me that if you know there is a payback, then there must be some paperwork explaining how much you would owe?

I just signed on with StaRN Lawnwood and the payback is $10k according to my contract. I also was made aware that the 2 year commitment starts when you are actually on your unit, and you have to spend 2 years on that specific unit and not with the hospital in general. I start tomorrow and I am excited but a little nervous about traveling to the simulation labs.

dont be nervous about simulation; it's easy and its more like a review of nursing school.
