2. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

   RN1263 replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

   I think discrimination against anyone is wrong, unless what you are doing is illegal of course. I'm not overweight, but I am a smoker who is trying to quit. Haven't smoked in 2 weeks. I agree that smoking and being overweight is unhealthy, but to den...

3. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

   RN1263 replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

   One of my nursing instructors was a very large lady...probably 300lbs easy, possibly more. However, she physically could do everything she needed to do and then some. She had already had one bariatric surgery and obviously it didn't work long term. S...

   It's ridiculous! Even in home health care families can and do treat you like poo and your suppose to smile and take it and mind you, you are in "their" homes, very uncomfortable! That's just one of the many reasons why I got a new job! I start this n...

10. Nurse with Multiple Sclerosis hard to find a job

    RN1263 replied to msgirl68's topic in Disabilities

    I don't know if you've found employment yet, but I have had MS for 20 yrs, since I was 21 and I'm 41 now. This is what I wound do in your situation. I would say that you took FMLA for a "family issue" that took awhile until it was "resolved" leading ...

    RN1263 replied to vbgniner's topic in Home Health

    I have charting almost every night! and I've been doing intermittent HH visits for 4 1/2 yrs., the problem is once the higher ups know you can handle a lot, then you get a LOT or I do. It doesn't stop, unless the agency slows down for whatever reason...
