why i quit my new grad nurse residency...4 months in.... 

feels surreal reading this title, I remember when you posted an nclex guide which helped me pass and now this, not the first new grad I followed who quit recently. I'm also a new grad, idk where to start

In the same position here 😭 putting in my resignation tomorrow, so nervous and mixed feelings. But putting mental health and happiness first. Praying to God that there's a plan for me

hey Nidhi, so glad to hear you put yourself, mental health and being over a job. Glad to hear you are taking the time for yourself in these interim jobless weeks. What job did you end up landing and how did it/ is it going? I was just in a similar situation with a new grad position that was not a good fit and I quickly realized inpatient nursing is not for me. Luckily the start perfectly aligned and I am now working an outpatient clinic position that I absolutely LOVE! Feel like I have to pinch myself daily, "Is this true? Can my lief be this wonderful?" truly amazing and so so happy for myself and my mental health and overall health that I made this decision.

Oh wow I will never complain about my commute again! I’m a new grad too. I moved to NC to start working in for a non profit in a rural area with no housing, so I have to live in a city that’s an hour and 30 minutes away. I get home around 6:30, bed by 9:30 and wake up by 6. It’s exhausting but I could t imagine having to wake up at 4!!!! You’re strong and brave for making the decision that was best for you❤️❤️

I quit too after 4 months. I felt so bad but I had to do it. No more bed side for me. I start my new job at fresenus next week. Wish me luck

When you did this, did you put your past nurse residency in your resume? or did you not even bring that up? im in the same situation
