Is it worth a shot? (getting my job back)

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I can't sleep from being upset about an incident that happened at my nursing home job and my mind is racing...anyway, I was supposed to take a job out of state at a hospital but after much consideration ended up feeling the cards were stacked against me, declined the job offer and the first two days of orientation I missed last week.

I have been having regrets and would like to give this job a try.

Nursing orientation starts this Wednesday. I wonder if there is a chance they would allow me to start nursing orientation and make up the other two days later?

You have written more drama than I have ever read from one person.

You don't read a whole lot, do you?

You need to step back and see who is ultimately resonsible for your life and that of your children. You have 4. I thought it was five from your previous extensive "posts."

Well, you're mistaken. Maybe you read that from someone else.

I have begun to think you have created your life's story yourself. What degree do you actually have? Why would you want to leave 3 of your children to fend for themselves with a disabled husband? My sincere advice is to sit down with a professional counselor, mental health professional or minister of your faith and lay our what is actually going on.

You think I couldn't have a degree and have family difficulties??? Or am I not reading into this remark correctly?

I would never leave three of my children to fend for themselves with a disabled father. This was the dilemma. Until they are out of school in 8 weeks and all could join me I would have had to make provisions and trips back and forth.

I don't think your suggestion I see a "mental health counselor" or "minister" of my faith (which is atheism) to actually be in my best interest as it is a personal jab at someone you don't think you like or who's sincerity you doubt. I don't come here to be analyzed and I don't really care if you believe I'm a real person or not (certainly not enough to advertise identifying information).

You know, when I see a thread I don't like, I skip over it and go to another one I feel is more worthy of my attention. I'm glad your life is so flawless and exemplory and you never have to discuss dilemmas with people on a message board because you have such a strong support system and your life is so together you don't need advice.

Really? Why do you post your problems here and then get defensive when others offer advice? I don't think you want to hear the truth-you just want some stroking. And when you post to a web site like this you are going to hear alot of opinions.

If you can't tell the difference between advice given in good faith and snarky remarks attacking another person's integrity then I don't imagine there are any amount of words that could get you to see the difference.

I think you are reading into what others have said and by getting angry you will then feel justified in ignoring good advice in your usual aself defeating way because that has been your pattern,IMHO.Like I said-I have been where you are-others may have as well....Take a step back and then re-read the thread...Peace out...

Afraid not. I think you should heed your own advice and step back to re-read the "good" advice from some of the people here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is being helpful and who is using an opportunity to get on their high horse.

Toots.
