Finally quit my job as an LPN

Since the start of Covid I’ve been working at a 75 bed assisted living facility. The past year I’ve worked both nights and days with my only call ins due to getting Omicron in January. Our new nursing manager calls, texts, and emails almost every single day on our off days. They have also refused to fill in for a single nurse shift which in my experience is weird for DONs. This week was the final straw. After arriving for 6p-6a I was immediately called and asked where I was during my off days and why I hadn’t responded.

Since the start of Covid I’ve been working at a 75 bed assisted living facility. The past year I’ve worked both nights and days with my only call ins due to getting Omicron in January.

Our new nursing manager calls, texts, and emails almost every single day on our off days. They have also refused to fill in for a single nurse shift which in my experience is weird for DONs.

This week was the final straw. After arriving for 6p-6a I was immediately called and asked where I was during my off days and why I hadn’t responded. I was then told to pass night meds then go home and sleep while “being on call” and come back for 6a-6p due to a staffing issue they had known about for six days.

Had to compromise by staying late and doing all nurse duties so day shift wouldn’t be completely screwed. Manager couldn’t come in for a few insulin shots. Searched for “generic immediate resignation” the next night and handed it in before my following day shift the next day. Oh and they also tried to guilt trip me about being out with COVID a month ago. Just pretty damn depressing all around.
