Can any one Help me..?

I am New RN working continuously for 2 years now without an off. Now my Husband is in ICU in India, he met with an accident (Doctors are not giving a positive answer). I need to go very badly to see my husband, i want to be with him in this situation, but I am not getting a holidays or vacation to do this due to short of Staff. I work at 2 Hospitals in Florida, both are rejecting my application. Can anybody help me suggesting what to do? should I quit the jobs and go to see my Hubby?

    Only you can make that decision because only you know your financial situation, need to work, etc. I will say, though, that your employers should have some type of leave available for an emergency situation.

    I hope your husband recovers quickly.

    Wow, Ive never heard of an employer that wouldn't give you time off (even if unpaid) for an emergency situation like this. FL employers must really be as awful as I've heard ...l Best wishes!

    Your employers stink like GI bleed. I'm so sorry that you're having to make this decision, and I'll pray for your husband. Hugs!!

    See if you are eligible for a personal or family emergency leave. Are you a citizen or permanent resident or just on a working visa? Have you worked full time for at least 6 months (approx 1250 hours) or part time for a year and been employed for at least a year?

    Im not sure if temporary or immigrant visa workers are entitled to FMLA leave. Up to 12 weeks unpaid leave to care for an illness or injury of yourself or an immediate family member (mother, father, spouse, or child under age 18) if qualified.

    As JustBeachyNurse said, FMLA is the answer, and will give you 12 weeks unpaid time where they are required to hold your job for you. Go directly to your HR department to talk to them to verify your eligibility and to discuss how to do the paperwork.

    Clarification: Employer is required to hold a job, not necessarily the same job you have.
