i don't know if the bold, is a typo or intended, but that was my first thought:

that this may be an omen from God, preparing you for the onc position...

which would make it a GOD and GOOD thing.

keep your faith, sue.

Sue, I am sorry to hear about your layoff. Even though we are all complaining about the Fed bailing everybody out, they really have done a few good things like have the employer cover COBRA 65% and extend unemployment benefits and increase it $25 a week. The COBRA thing is pretty huge---this is preventing employers from firing people and walking away scot-free and not having to pay for anything. Employers are screeching about it---but the bottom line is that a whole lot of people are being fired who have families and they need health insurance-----and this will reduce the number of people who will have to apply for Medicaid and Federal assistance.

Sue, again I'm sorry. So much for a "nursing shortage", huh?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Many people outside the healthcare field would scoff at the thought that a nurse could get laid off. I sincerely hope that this is the beginning of something better for you and that things go *your* way. Best wishes (:

Aw, Sue..............seems that if it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.....dammit!!:crying2::sfxpld:

I just keep thinking, Lord, it's got to be time for Sue to catch a break.....and then something else goes sideways. It stinks on ice, and I don't know what to say that would be of any comfort to you; just know that I'm here for you, along with a lot of other folks who are pulling for you. It's GOT to get better one of these days, my friend. :icon_hug:
