Suspended

Don't quit. I am not sure why they have been "targeting" you from the start, but if you quit before you know the what the ADON wants to do to address the issue, you may never learn and grow from this experience. Is there more to the story? There is nothing for us to comment on with such scant details. I wish you all the best.

Another (off-topic) thing: please use "th" instead of "d."

At least you admitted that you made a mistake, hopefully they would consider that you are still new from your job. Learn from your mistakes and move on, many nurses can have the same mistakes and sometimes forget lots of things. I don't think you will get fired since those two nurses are still there in you work place.

Yea there is more to the story. I was laughed at during my 2nd wk of TRAINING. They mistook me for someone who had experience already. They did not give me a chance from the get go. I was going to quit while i was on maternity leave and i only got 4 wks there. after maternity, i wasnt planning on returning. Right now its going to sprread like wild fire all over the unit whilst when others who have made the same mistake u wouldnt even hear about it.

Good luck. I wouldn't quit, the job market is not really favorable right now especially since you are a new grad. Hear what they have to say, then take it from there. Learn from your mistakes and hopefully you'll be extra careful in the future since you know you're being "targeted". Best wishes.

And as for the original posters questions, I really think you should stick it out and fight, you will have justice on your side. I really hope you can take this mistake and build upon it. I'm also a new grad and working through orientation right now, I feel like everydays a step further towards who I want to be as a nurse. :) Hang in there I'm sure everything happens for a reason.

common guys and girls....you're advising to let her stay? do you know the consequence and the gamble that she will take. listen to me....it is not worth the gamble to stick around and find out what is the ending. we all know you made a mistake. face the consequence and leave. don't put yourself in the mercy of your ADON or DON. you know that when you get fired, it will stick to your records and will make it harder for you to look for a job? right? i don't know the reason why others are advising differently. maybe they just want to find out the ending but believe me it's not worth it. save your career and get out while you still have the clean slate of career record w/o the stamp of being fired out.

To the OP:

I'm sorry that happenned to you, it is rough out there. Good for you for owning up to your error and for trying your best to learn from your mistake.

It is tough out there...but just in the future, if you truly feel like you are being "singled out" despite trying to work with your coworkers/bosses then I'd highly suggest looking for new employment quick. Nursing is a subjective job...if your boss wants to get rid of you for any reason I feel like they can always find something because you can never do your job 100% perfect in nursing.

That is not to say that you shouldn't learn from your mistakes and strive to make as few of them as possible...I'm just saying that the culture really is punitive out there and finding a supportive work environment is CRUCIAL to nursing, more so than in more objective careers, IMHO.

Targeted people know to dot their i's, cross their t's, and watch their backs. It is part of survival. Learn from this.

I strongly agree with THIS PART of what they said. The job market is not simple, or 'easy going.' Everyone makes mistakes, but in this job field, it is important to own up to those mistakes, and take what comes with them. If you quit, or go as far to change your number, just because administration wants to discuss this with you.. Well, I'm sorry, but that seems to be a strong mark of immaturity.

Thanks everybody for the advice. I wanted to leave when i noticed the "unfriendly environment" but people close to me advised against it. wish i didnt listen to them. But thanks guys.

Regardless, if you post, you should be open to all constructive criticism. You couldn't have possibly expected everyone in the world to agree with you, and pat your hand.. Sometimes tough love really is best. People need to hear other opinions frequently, in order to get a broader perspective, and therefore grow. I hope you learn this in time, if you plan on being a successful nurse.
