Pros
Orientation- I was gullible and believed they’re “nice, safe and courageous” campaign
Cons
Sharing to prevent anyone else the possible experience with Billings Clinic in Montana. I interviewed for a position and was called later same day to offer me the position. 90 days of credentialing later I started what I thought was an amazing position with kind coworkers. I soon found that while they were all kind on the outside - for one individual that is not the case. But we all know there is always at least one right. I had thought if you work hard and do your job with genuine care taken of the patients - it’s ok if someone in the office doesn’t like your uniqueness. I usually grow on them anyways. Her friend job shadowed with her week 3 of my orientation. In the state of Montana they don’t need a reason during your probation period to let you go. It doesn’t matter if you do your job, show up early and do extra things. They don’t ask patients how they were treated, read or listen to any of coworkers cruelness or passive aggressiveness. Despite billings clinic theme kind, safe and courageous. They are Not willing to look at your work up for patients that you have done. It doesn’t matter that the coworker began keeping a file on you week 2. Also things coworker would cross out on my documentation - later right before I was excused the same things are now in her documentation that she thought was confusing. She also crossed out my references to best practice or per up to date as she didn’t think that was in up to date. She would question me daily where I got this or that - when I would share from the book they recommended on page xyz”that’s not important”. I honestly had no idea my performance and opinion of me would be so heavy on an equal coworker. No one is everyone’s cup of tea even after many attempts. But I did not think an adult professional position that takes 90 days to credential would dismiss you so easily if you were caring to patients, prevented harm, were early. I had no idea leaving a secure position would be such a risk for cheerleader clique personality in a professional setting because I’m a little different but nice and work hard. I honestly thought I would be given the opportunity to be heard. Yes it was done a week before Thanksgiving. Unemployment does not come close to paying my bills. Even if I got hired somewhere today I am on unemployment for 90 days without health insurance till I am credentialed in a new position. Also their financials continue to worsen
