Manager does't like me...

Nursing Students Male Students

My Hospital offers a program called "Tuition loan forgiveness" for nursing students, were you sign a contract for two years after you graduate. I know I qualify for it, but my manager does not give me a letter of recommendation to apply for it.

All my attending and residents have no complaint about me, but my manager just don't like me.

Example, my wife was about to give birth to my daughter, I let her know that i might be out for three days depending on delivery, to what she reply "you don't have enough paid time off for that".

I need to cut my hours to assist nursing school, she denied it, and she is asking me weekly when is may last day...

should i go to HR?

Is it worthy?

When I start my clinical it will be in this hospital too, that's why I feel like just let it go, but it would be nice getting paid to go to school and have a guaranteed job at the end!!

just a rant :/

I think she needs sum1 to fill in certain hours which is probably why she's asking you when your last day is. If this is the case and the work hours conflict with your school schedule I would let it go or possibly try transferring to another department.

Specializes in PCCN.

Go talk to HR about you application for their tuition reimbursement. Mention its for RN school. They should be able to handle thing from there. Also you need to move to a different unit if your manager is being as unreasonable as you make it out to be. As for time off, don't expect to be paid, but you do have rights for time off in certain circumstances, under the FMLA, talk to HR about that.

Thanks for answering!

As an update, today I talk to my manager about why I have't got an answer from her to what she reply: " two years ago I was asked if I wanted to change sites and you declined it; Now, you do your job, but you don't go above and beyond so I cannot give you a letter of reference with my name on it...."

I declined that position because I live two miles from my clinic, the one they wanted me to transfer is 17 miles away also my daughter day care is closer to me than to my wife job so we decided (my wife and I) that someone should be "closer to our baby daycare".

I am beyond upset, if at that point in time my manager comes to me and tells me " we are moving your position to this other clinic" I have no option!. Instead they ask me "would you like to go?" and I said no for my own reasons... no she is retaliating against me!

I'm talking to Employee Relations but I'm sure nothing will happen... can't stand it!

Sorry for the rant!!!
