Not a very supportive work environment you worked in. You had surgery and needed some extra time off. It happens. New nurse or not -- you were NOT supported by management or human resources. I would have your MD write a note (or if you have a copy of his order for you not to go back to work until such and such a date) I would have a copy sent to your permanent file. Then leave that place and don't go back. Run. You deserve better.

FMLA requires 12 months of employment and a specified minimum number of hours worked (don't remember how many).

Frankie I am so sorry about all you have been thru. And sorrier still about how they are treating you at work. Just disgusting. Another reason I am glad I am perdiem.......and never intend to go FTE again if I can possibly avoid it. Prayers for healing your way, love.
