1. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   Again, I didn't "not attempt to get to work". Feel free to read other comments or the original post for reference. Nor did I say it was anyone's problem, I am capable of accepting that things happen and sometimes those things stink. I apologize for b...

   Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   I am not sure where I would go and safely stay before the storm if there isn't somewhere for me to go? I did not slam coworkers for not taking a shift. I didn't expect anyone to unless they were already on campus and willing. Nor did I even want to a...

   I actually do babysit when I can! Usually weekends and a weeknight here and there when I have the time. Since it's usually just date nights or similar things it makes me flexible and good, easy money. I work a lot during the summer at my office job, ...

   If something had happened to me and I had to go to a hospital somehow, I don't think any nurse would be telling me that I should've made it anyway. That is far from the compassionate personality nurses that I know have

   That is absolutely bonkers.. I am not a Navy Seal. I do not think $25 is worth walking that far in that type of weather, and I don't believe most commenters on this website would walk for 5 hours in weather like that either. Considering my family and...

   Luckily I don't plan on living anywhere with snow in the future; it's just not something I can control at this point in my life. When I begin an actual career and have real hours and pay, obviously a 4-wheel drive car is the plan, regardless of where...

   You are suggesting that I walk 15 miles in the dark in a snow storm? When there are people driving that could very easily hit me if they lose control of their car somehow?

   Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand how those are simply just excuses. All I did was explain and answer questions that were asked.. The car is safe when not attempting to drive in a foot of snow. I don't drive when there is poor weather because it is not safe. Priori...

   Okay, thank you. This was the discussion I was trying to have. I've never had to do that before, and so I had no idea what to say and thought advance notice was more helpful. Essentially what I said was that I am unsure what will happen but will try ...

    Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    My parents do pay for the insurance which I am lucky for, but I do pay for my gas (which is why my car takes me to school and back and that's about it). No, there is no public transportation, I live in a rather rural area. The only public transportat...

    Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I really just wanted to know if there was anything else I could have said or done, for example calling in sick etc rather than trying to give advanced notice. Getting new tires, etc. wasn't something that could be done in the moment, but I do know th...

    Studentworker replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't purchase my car, it was given to me by a relative, which was quite lucky since my parents weren't able to get me one. Obviously at 17 and needing transportation to get to your waitressing job, I took it with no complaints because a car is a ...

    I understand that people on here care about the well-being of others. Some commenters have said to get a new car. Unfortunately I cannot afford tires, even used ones. I wish I could obviously, that would be awesome, but I have to make do with what I ...

    I try to always be very honest about everything; I thought that being honest would be better than lying, but I suppose maybe bending the truth is the better option here.

    Also, if it were work in a hospital I would have the option to come in early. However, it was an apartment. It's not my job to come in 24 hours earlier while someone else is on the clock.
