   I didn't wanna insert any ideas in your heads. I was thinking second degree heart block or third degree. Can you tell me what you think it is??

3. Quitting while on maternity leave

   j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, so many people are already quitting. And we are short-staffed already. The management is just terrible. So me leaving wouldn't make a world of difference at all. lol

   Did you resign while you were on leave? Did you have to pay anything back for your health insurance costs?

5. Quitting while on maternity leave

   j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

   They never mentioned PTOs at all when I was filing a claim for short-term disability. I don't see why that would have anything to do with anything. They are separate payouts. It's not like I would use them at the same time. They said I would get shor...

   j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the input!!! Yeah I'm actually gonna try to file for short term disability. I didn't know I was eligible because I didn't sign up for it when I signed up for benefits.

7. Quitting while on maternity leave

   j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in General Nursing

   I mean generally speaking though. I don't wanna ask HR too far ahead of time and then have them realize what I may plan on doing and then screw me over because of it.

8. Quitting while on maternity leave

   j0yegan posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm pregnant and work full-time. I plan on using (unpaid) FMLA and then afterwards use my accrued PTOs. There's a possibility that I will not come back. If I do decide to not come back to work, will quitting be okay while I'm on my PTO as far as not ...

9. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

12. Maternity Nursing

    j0yegan replied to dreamer30's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Each hospital is different. Focused assessments, vital signs every 1-8 hours depending on type of delivery, dealing with medications, foleys, IVs, complications that may arise, possible blood sugars, list goes on. Don't forget constant admissions and...

13. Do you get really nervous before a shift?

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Stress 101

    I agree. Once I know more about the patients and get a better idea about what my day will be like, I feel better. It's just before I get my assignment. I get so extremely anxious. I try to talk myself down, but apparently it doesn't work. I get all t...

14. Do you get really nervous before a shift?

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Stress 101

    Man, I CANNOT do ER. Wayyyy too stressful. And too much liability. I just like to plan everything and know what's gonna happen and what to expect. I know it's impossible, but that's just who I am. Am I gonna be floated? Are we gonna have enough staff...

15. Do you get really nervous before a shift?

    j0yegan posted a topic in Stress 101

    I've worked for several years and STILL get extremely nervous right before I start a shift. My heart rate shoots up (like 110-120 bpm) and I have to go to the restroom. It's a total "fear of the unknown" thing - the unpredictability of the job. Every...
