No background check will go that deep.

You have given your notice. You have given the traditional two-week notice. You move on.

LMAO… yeah go 100mph on a scooter.

What could possibly go wrong…..

Do not delay the start date of your new job. You have given your notice and have a new job lined up. There is no action needed. Any place worth a damn would not hold it against you won’t delay your departure.

Your current and soon to be ex-co-workers comings and goings are not your problem.

Now as far as being rehired by your current place. That will be based on how good of an employee you were and the scarcity of your skill sets.

Which superpower do you think is the most practical, versatile, and useful?

The ability to fly. You could clean your gutters, inspect your roof, get from one floor of a tall building to another.

Which do you think is the least practical and most useless?

Many offense ones, such as throwing fire, freezing things or shooting lasers out of your eyes. Never minding the potential of killing by standers outside of combat there is no day to day.

What would be a good drawback to your superpower of choice?

Hopefully you would never sleep fly….

It depends on the setting your are listening to and reading the books. I listen to audio books on my daily commute.

So if you are listening to one book for the soul sucking drive and another to relax at the end of the day..

I started listening to Stephen King’s IT.

I have read and listened a number of his books, but never IT. I am only three chapters into to it and so far It is King at the top of his game.

The reason your co-workers in the Emergency Department babble inane stuff to each other is it is a coping mechanism for all the brutal self destructive shit they see people do to themselves and to each other.

I’ve always have such issues working for other employers.

OP this is a key statement..

It’s like they believe the talkative ones over me. Why would I want to work for people like that?

OP you have had this same problem at other workplaces. You don’t feel a need to change your behavior.

Not wanting to chit chat at work is completely reasonable in some professions, IT, research, laboratory work and so on. ED Nursing is not one of those professions. Nursing is all about executing a care plan as part of a team. Your managers are not believing your co-workers over you, your managers are confirming what you already know about yourself.

If you do have a disability/special needs you need to get that documented and inform your organization so the organization can create a reasonable accommodation.

I think you need to some self evaluation and see if there is a speciality of nursing that has limited contact with people.

I know that there are doctors who spend their days doing nothing but chart reviews. Is that something a nurse can do.

How does a socially inept, introverted person survive at work?

They find a profession that a socially inept introverted person can do.

I think you could just stop reading after the words designers and Programmers.

I have seen some adds for this and it looks great!

I don’t listen to music but I do listen to a couple of audio books.

I don’t user headphones I have a Bluetooth speaker that I use:

It is a cheapee thing called: Oontz Angle 3

That Fall of Eagles looks really interesting. I wonder if I can find it on Prime.

None. My folks didn’t have any rules about games. Then again my parents really didn’t do rules.
