1. We’re all being “fired”! Is this legal?

   angel4gramma replied to Taylor22's topic in General Nursing

   When I was hired to Telemetry I had certain classes to take and had 6 months for the ACLS. I later got certified by my own choice. If you are not happy you should leave. Why not get certified if that's your specialty. As a traveler I floated to Oncol...

3. calling managers

   How do you call and do it "Stealth"? Most managers don't even answer the phone in my experience. I know they are busy and like I said I have never received a call back. Ty

   angel4gramma replied to gnovime's topic in Travel

   I have been asked to call the managers myself. I did this twice and never got the job. So today my recruiter asks me to call the manager but be "stealth" about it. Told her no that I didn't like doing it. Has anybody done this and had a good outcome?

9. Our boss is so awful!

   angel4gramma replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like my last staff job. I left on my own after I started traveling but she was doing her best to fire me. My "friends" coworkers avoided me because she threatened them. It hurt me at the time but she was let go a few months later. Most of my c...

    angel4gramma replied to Creamsoda's topic in Travel

    Not sure about Oakland but the San Fran area is great. I stayed in Hercules and it was okay. I wish I liked my contract better so I could have stayed. I might go back to a different hospital.
