I am a new hire in an ED and have had the following things happen in the past two months
GI problem /diarrhea. Missed 1 day
Hit a deer. Missed 1 day and got an apartment close to work so it wont happen again
Started menses 2 weeks early and was bleeding very heavily with clots. In ER where I work now being seen.
Finally during the Irma hurricane my Dad was in the hospital and got evacuated and my Mom is a total care at home so I was coordinating their care and had to switch a day at work.
I am on orientation so staff hasn't been short. But I'm concerned I will be let go because of all this.
Any advice on what to tell the next possible employer or how to salvage my position?
But there are some old threads I'd love to resurrect -- the one that started the Crusty Old Bat Society, for example. I can't even remember the name of the thread, and I don't know if it found it's way over here. Or the one about the "Old Biter Nurses". Or how about the new nurse who was sure that clouds of mean people were following her everywhere she went?
Somebody, I wish I could remember who started a thread awhile back with links to some of the old classics! Like you I wish I had a clue how to find it again. The COB, the "Old Biter Nurse" and you may as well fess up Ruby since that was you as I recall! The murderous deers, the red jello! They were all there plus a bunch more I can't recall.
I am trying to remember and I think maybe it was Old Dude or Davey that started that thread, do either of you guys remember?

I wish I had started those threads! But I will admit to gleefully participating.
