Hi Renerian.....thanks for the good thoughts about my job situation. I start my new disease management position on July 25.....very excited about it. I've been so stressed lately, trying to find something....worrying about money, etc. I really wanted to stay with disease management. I've been in home care for 18 years and was totally ready for a change.
As far as the severance package, I've never been through this before so don't know what would be considered "good". I received 2 weeks pay. I had accrued some PTO, but was not eligible to receive it since I was still in my probationary period. I understand that the nurses who were out of their probation were given any time that was accrued in their PTO account.
I did get a call today on my voicemail from them.....wanting to know if I was interested in doing some prn work this summer. I sent all my equipment back when this happened, like I was instructed to do, so not sure what the prn work would entail. My new job is full time so doubt if I would have time for it. I'm supposed to call them back tomorrow.
You sound very busy. I agree with others...make sure and enjoy your life....don't work all the time if you can help it!
Thanks again....Shelley

I'm out of work myself, thus the need to land some good employment soon. I don't want to take a job for the sake of money, although I need the money to pay bills and keep a roof over my head. It's just not enough anymore to work "any ol' place". It's my daily life I lay on the line when I give an employer eight to 13 hours of my day, so it's important to me to be able to gain something in return...besides the money. I wish you well! 
I've tried getting jobs in doctor's offices with no luck. So...I've got to survive, right?
And that's my
