I QUIT my job as an ER Nurse after only 3 months! 

You honestly made the right decision!! Mental health and safety over everything. It’s soo difficult when you work with negative people. Money is something that will always come. , but you can never get your time back . Congratulations to you for taking that step to protect yourself!

I’m sorry you had such a poor preceptor. I’m an older nurse, been a RN for 23 years. When I used to work at the hospital I enjoyed being a preceptor and always tried to be open and approachable. It’s about learning when you come to a new area so I would tell them to please ask questions if you don’t understand something or let me know if you want to work on a particular skill and then I’d look for opportunities to do whatever they needed to work on. I also taught others how to precept and would make sure they were interacting appropriately with their preceptees. Every once in a while someone would have an issue and I would tell them, “would you like to be treated the way you are treating this new nurse?” That usually fixed the problem. Hearing this just shows me one huge reason why so many new nurses don’t continue either where they are or even in the profession altogether 😢

Omg yes I worked as a medical assistant in an urgent care and quit with no notice bc management was terrible and never helped with anything l. Granted I was going through terrible family problems which caused me to spiral but nonetheless it was a blessing in disguise because I found a more enjoyable job now. Toxic work environments are a huge no no

That has been my worst and biggest disappointment and frustration in nursing. Being new to a unit or facility, the established nurses absolutely hate and despise being asked any questions, I mean almost ANY questions.They want to see you flounder, try to figure it yourself, then make a mistake. They are so self absorbed trying to power rush through their own work, can't be bothered so they can sit back. When they are doing less, I thought maybe they would be more receptive because now they had the time to walk and talk through what I was struggling with.. NERP! It's worse. Flat out ignore me. The highest caliber of passive aggressive behavior I've ever seen in a work place.

Yup this is the same experience I had as a new grad coming into the PICU!

I'm currently a health care assistant but a student nurse. I have never related more in my life and I'm not even a nurse. I currently work in a care home and a lot of people make it very toxic. There is this one nurse who practically bullies me everytime she is on shift with me and my last shift I was left on my own to do practically everything - I've only been working here 3 weeks and it is my first care home job so I'm still learning. I got called into the office on my 3rd day as people were complaining I was too slow and incompetent and I was just really annoying. Me being annoying to them was just me asking questions of the routine and how they go about certain things in the care home but each time I got either a vague or snarky answer. When I tell you I cried in that office. I only work there a day a week now and am trying to find non-healthcare jobs before I get traumatised anymore and not continue with my nursing. I am also having a crap time I'm nursing school because the environment there too is quite toxic. I really admire your strength and courage and knowing what to do what is right for yourself and never lose that. Thank you for this video

I would have wrote in incident report on the charge nurse and preceptor for their conductive and for throwing you to the wolves when you still needed guidance.

Was your preceptor black?? I’ve been a nurse many many many years and in specialty areas sometimes the other nurses hate to see US

I feel you, Nursing should be a team career but unfortunately it is filled with masculine, bossy, mean and arrogant miserable women. There is nothing else to do to fix that career…..it is crazy everywhere…..just get out.

Yes It very unnecessary
