Am I worrying to much?

O I had orientation today, and needless to say it was overwhelming. Our dean stated that working at a hospital while in school had benefits and drawbacks. Drawbacks being that if we got fired or dismissed from the position we held, they probably wouldn't let us be students there for our clinicals, thus resulting in withdrawal from NS. Last year I was working at a clinic that belongs to one of our clinical agencies, and I had to quit very suddenly because of extreme personal problems, it also resulted in me withdrawing my classes that semester too. Needless to say my boss new I was struggling with personal issues, I did not put in my two weeks, and I'm scared I made a bad name for myself. I was not fired or anything but quit. Now I'm worried should I call human resources tomorrow and inquiry? I asked the dean of nursing and she said I should be fine since I quit, nit dismissed, and that if any further action was taken I would have been notified. What do you think? Now I'm over analyzing this statement and it's getting scary.

Does this email sound appropriate?

"Hello, My name is Kayla Winstanley. I know that Mrs. ******* has been in contact with you about changing my rehire status, but i thought perhaps that I could email you so you have a better understanding of my situation. For the past two years I have been in school at Faulkner State Community College pursuing my degree in Nursing, RN. It is my passion and when I look to the future I see myself as a registered nurse and then possibly becoming an emergency medicine nurse practitioner. I have worked very hard these past two years and have applied to over six different nursing programs, and I have gotten rejected from all of them. however, this past month I finally received my acceptance letter to Faulkner State's Nursing Program, I could not believe it when I opened my letter. I thought ,finally my dream is coming true. I have purchased my clinical uniforms, stethoscope, lab supplies, books, and everything. I went to my orientation last week and they told everyone that if they had a " Do not rehire status" that most likely that organization would not allow the students to do clinicals there, resulting from dismissal of the nursing program. I know That you denied my request but i beg of you to reconsider. This will ultimately cost me my education, I cant stay in school if I get dismissed from the nursing program because my student loans will be up after that. Since I'm a dependent student, my student loans will be severed because I will be over the allotted credit hours. I don't think that its right since i had to quit without putting in my two weeks notice that it will cost me my nursing education. I've worked so hard to get to this point, and spent hundreds of dollars in nursing preparation for this semester. Please Mr. ********, consider granting my rehire status. I have been away from infirmary health systems for 7 months, and i know you have to be gone for 12 months. I had extenuating circumstances that did not allow me to put in my two weeks. I lived with my parents in Irvington at the time, and they separated, and my dad took my truck to use since they shared one vehicle between them at the time, I also had to withdraw from my school semester because of that. Since i live so close to Dauphin Island, there was no public transportation that i could take to get to work or school. Even if you have to grant it to me on probationary status, or possibly let me volunteer at the hospital? I will do anything. My education is the most important thing to me, it will be the one thing that no one can ever take away from me. I have worked endlessly to get to where i am at today, and If my rehire status is not granted than I will not be able to complete my dream of becoming a registered nurse. Thank you for taking the time for reading this. If you need to contact me you can at **********, or maybe we can possibly set up a meeting. Thanks so much

It sounds good to me! However, it needs some serious proof reading, if you haven't sent it already.

And delete the Sent From My IPad if it's part of your email :)

Yes, sounds great, if you can do it face to face that would be better. Did you speak back to the DON at FSCC yet?

No. She never answers. I just left a voicemail to tell her what was going on and that I would let her know.

Oh, ok well just keep trying I know they had the pinning ceremony this evening for the PN graduates, so they may have been busy. But I know everytime I went up there she was always in her office and I could just walk in and talk to her. Don't give up and also leave a message with the secretary or send her an email, she always answers.

I hope you're able to get this worked out. A girl in my class last year had this happen. Hers was even sooner though, like having just left the job a matter of weeks earlier. She was assigned that clinical location but when an issue was made they just switched her and another student. It was stressful but it worked out. Hopefully your situation will too!
