1. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for all the replies! My friend is part time so she doesn't qualify for FMLA. She has asked HR and our bosses over and over again if she needs paperwork/documentation but they keep saying no. But mgmt has been very sketchy and NEVER wants to pu...

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

   I would agree with you but she's doing the exact opposite. Unfortunately due to the ridiculous attendance policy she is only trying to protect herself IN CASE she has to call out. Management keeps telling her to just take a leave of absence but she k...

   Agreed. Unfortunately HR is NO help at all....and most people don't trust them, at least at my hospital.

5. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

   I WISH I could say what hospital it is!!!! I live in Northern Virginia. I called the corporate office and they didn't seem to think our hospital had to accept doctors notes. What's even more absurd is that management says if you have a doctors note i...

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

   The funny thing is, our boss IS a lawyer! Not that that means she knows what she's talking about though. As for FMLA you have to work 1,250 in the past 12 months so if you're part time or PRN you don't have enough hours to qualify (unless you've work...

7. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

   lexy3227 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I was just wondering if your employer can fire you for having a medical condition, such as MS, which causes you to be immunocompromised. My best friend works in the same hospital and on the same unit as me and she was recently diagnosed with MS. She ...

8. GMU vs NOVA vs Marymount

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in Virginia

   Well Marymount is about $500/credit while NOVA is $72/credit...not saying that this is a bad thing b/c if you've got the money then great. But I've heard it's not necessarily worth the money and the school tries to keep you in for as long as they can...

9. Appropriate Work Load for a nursing student?

   lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in Virginia

   I don't know what the prerequisites were a few years ago for NVCC but I know now that you have to have microbiology and human anatomy OR NAS 161, 162 done BEFORE you submit your checklist. I am now in my 2nd semester (1st year) of the program and I r...

10. Appropriate Work Load for a nursing student?

    lexy3227 posted a topic in Virginia

    Okay, so I just had my orientation today for NVCC...and it made me more stressed...is 15 credits too much for a semester? I didn't even think to take any of the classes before I even start in August, besides my prereq's...duh! I could have taken HLT ...

14. Nursing Student Uniforms??

    lexy3227 posted a topic in Virginia

    What do nursing students wear as their uniform?? At least in the area of Northern Virginia...are they totally different by school? I was just curious to know if I'm going to look like a dork! :chuckle

15. GMU vs NOVA vs Marymount

    lexy3227 replied to lexy3227's topic in Virginia

    Well I don't need to worry about choosing between GMU and NOVA because I found out yesterday that I didn't get into GMU....oh well. I wasn't that upset. But I did get into 3 out of the 4 schools I applied to (NOVA, Marymount, Shenandoah). I think NOV...
