planning on looking for another job next week |
I hate job hunting, I especially hate the idea of changing jobs, going back
to overwork, understaffed hospitals. It's either that or staying with this
small group clique.
I should be strong enough to stick it out, but I don't think I am.
I'm also realizing though that moving to a small town that it's a situation
where everyone knows everyone, or so it seems and then working within the
medical community it's an even smaller tighter community where everyone
knows everyone. Worrying I've already committed social suicide in my 10
months of being here and stand no chance at developing friendships here due
to my encounters at this place I've been at.
A job that's really basically easy, little to no stress physically or
otherwise patient wise is stressing me out I think worse than most hospital
jobs I've had. I get along somewhat with 2 of the other staff members, but
the other 3 who've started since I have, have cliqued off and don't like me.
It's very evident. I could go into examples, but won't.
This feels like another failure. Has me doubting my decision to move here.
Wanting to run away yet again, but know that the person I really want to run
away from is me.
I don't play well with others.

packrat, i don't know if you should switch jobs. i have a good feeling
about the job you are at. don't ask me why.

yeah, I'm torn, so many good things with this job, I adore the patients, the
workload is so light for what we're paid for, learning new things, like PICC
line insertion, pediatric experience, working with all age groups, I've got
great IV skills now, am about 95% accurate with IV sticks, as comparison to
other times and it was only about 60% accurate. Less physical stress.
I just don't get along with my co-workers and being a small group it's hard,
not like in a bigger unit where you can either keep to yourself, or at least
there's more types of people your working with.
I'd also go back to the long hospital shifts and big patient loads.
I adored this job when I first started, I thought finally, I found my nitch
and felt good about the job I did.
Staff turnover happened and these 3 new people have either brought out the
fact that I'm not as competent as I thought I was, or are as I feel, a
clique that I don't belong and are going to undermine my work there. The
latter sounds full of paranoia. Honestly, it's probably a combination of
the 2.
I think I'll look for a prn job at a hospital and if I like it and it's less
emotional stress than where I'm at and can take the patient and physical
load then pursue full time with intentions to quit this one. Not just take
another job and quit this one outright, but work both for a brief period and
make sure I'm not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
That or move back to my house down south 4 hours and go back to my previous
job, town and hauntings. I've moved to a smaller town where the circles are
formed and unless you are one of those socially adaptable people, of which
I'm not, I'm too awkward, it's hard to make your way in. Also a town of
money and government of which I'm not a part of either. Hometown though is
full of history for me, little bit bigger, but not good memories. I don't
know which is worse.
Decisions, decisions.....
I wish I knew what your good feelings are about this job I'm in since I
can't figure out what to do.

I wish you could find the perfect job for you. You're so good with your
animals and I would think anyplace you go should recognize what a gift they
have in you. I'm not just saying this either, I believe it and would want
you to be the one to take care of my pet. I wish I was indendently wealthy
and would pay your way through vet school or whatever field with animals you
care to go.......if that's the direction you wanted to take that is. I so
strongly feel that way about you and your gifts.
Sorry things are continually stressful for you. Good luck to you as well,
hope things change soon for the better.
