I've taken the wrong job, feeling horrible.

[Spud13]

(Nurse) I was was offered two jobs, I've taken the wrong one. The one I've accepted is a promotion, I need minimal training to be able to do the job, just need to learn the ropes. I've worked at this level before.

Two of my new colleagues are unwilling to engage with me and train me, actually they ignore me, rude. The job is not as advertised, I'm expected to take charge of lots patients on a ward instead of a few on a more specialised unit that has not yet been established and isn't likely to with covid. I've done 3 weeks but know its not for me.

I'm a single parent and don't need the added pressure especially with the covid stress also.

The other job is something I've done before, lots, I've rung and asked if I can go there..... that's fine, they will have me ASAP as they are completely overcome with the covid pressure.

I need to tell my manager on Monday. Feel terrible. What a mess. Not eating properly or sleeping. Please be kind.

You're doing the right thing

Make sure you tell them about your cunty colleagues on the way out

Take a deep breath. Tell your manager what you have said here. Including about the staff not being helpful.
Good luck

Great minds think alike Laurie

Run.

Run fast.

You deserve better.

Nurses can make your life hell.

Been there.

Rooting for you.

Ps : dont even look back. All is not lost!

Thank you all, I'm probably over thinking but I hate messing people about. Xx

Go with your gut instinct OP

You're responding to the reception you've been shown.

Truly, don't look back.

You'll be ok.

You're not messing people about. You accepted the job in good faith but it isn't what you were lead to believe. Please do be honest about your reasons for leaving, polite but honest. The next person to accept it might not be lucky enough to have a plan B.

Please update us too as to what happens xx I often wonder!

You are doing the right thing. Trust your gut!

Be proud and feel empowered that you didn't put up with the bullshit - job not as advertised and rude colleagues. Sometimes, the best decisions we can make for ourselves require a bit of guts and that's what you've got for binning the crappy job. Good on you!

Thanks, I'll update. Xx

Think of it as them having messed you about. The job was not as was portrayed to you, so you are moving on. Good luck in your new role.

It's not the job advertised and your colleagues are being unhelpful shits.

Tell them that is why you are leaving.

We all make mistakes. The most important is that you are not afraid to fix them and you realized that early.
