  1. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    So just to be clear....I am for immunizations. I am not for employers bullying people into getting immunized. If someone is having difficulty coming up with a convincing argument - just because they are bigger, and maybe smarter or better informed, t...
  2. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    While some conditions of employment are lawful, others are not. For example, it is not lawful to make a sexual relationship, or a sexual assault, a condition of employment. It is logical, that if it is an assault, to force or coerce someone to be sub...
  3. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    ...I look forward to my flu shots. I don't want to get sick. Isn't the real issue here, nursing shortages? There aren't enough nurses to cover the sick leave shifts. Our healthcare workforce is running on bald tires. An investment must be made for e...
  4. 2nd week orientation @ Adult day health but want to quit

    I'd ask to meet and hand deliver a typed, professional letter. No one has to give you a job. Be sure to thank them for the opportunity. I'd give two weeks, at least and offer to stay up to a month, if needed so they can take their time in making a ne...
  5. Share The Weirdest Reasons Patients Push The Call Light

    .... to report a train wreck. (No trains, or train tracks for miles.) ....to report someone making noises inside the fireplace. (No fireplace in the room.) ....to complain about not being allowed to go to the bar in the next room. (Apparently, the st...
  6. Is it worth it

    You could ask the NY state board of nursing, and the NLN (National League of Nursing) about job prospectives and credentialing. It would take a lot longer, but ... have you looked at accelerated masters programs for Non-nursing BS or BA's? It depends...
  7. Possible post traumatic stress??

    That's sad news. It sounds difficult. I have no answers. You have a British flag, are you in the US? If you are in the US, did you look into FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)? You need to take care of yourself, too. Maybe you actually need time off wor...
  8. It sounds like what you are describing is a written contract. In business, and in law, written contracts stand over verbal. This is why you never assume you will get something, unless you see it in writing. Most likely, prior to getting the paperwork...
  9. ITT Tech's New Program???

    airbender....thanks! kudos! ...and thank you for this link. this is great information for prospective nursing students. http://www.ocnnursingdiversity.org/d...2010report.pdf nursing programs do need to be strong in ethics, in values, and in rigor. n...
  10. Worst Interview......so far

    LoveMyBugs, Hang in there! At least you are interviewing. I wonder how many people would love just to interview. Please keep sharing your job search experiences. I'm crossing my fingers for you. I hope you get your dream job. Do you think it might be...
  11. OK....Raya, So...you inquired, but did not receive reliable information about nursing school. You didn't realize it was not advisable to work full-time while in nursing school. You've learned the hard way, this not advisable and now you are wiser. A...
  12. ITT Tech's New Program???

    kamaboko - Your post was very mean spirited. I'm sorry if I did anything to offend you. My previous post was more sincere than you might think. I may be the most unimportant person I have ever known. You really do sound like you are well connected,...
  13. OK Raya, You failed to meet a criteria stated in writing by the program. OK. That likely happens to hundreds of 1st term students, every year. I don't doubt they are all, intelligent, wonderful people. Some will go on to make great nurses. Life goes ...
  14. Raya, There may be two different kinds of "fails." 1) The "fail", where you really failed to meet a stated requirement in the nursing handbook or written requirements, and the nursing handbook states you cannot come back. 2) Then there is the "fai...
  15. Nursing Shortage: New Grad or Experienced

    LOL! ...and I'd have to be really smart, to want to do this? LOL. No one can see it now, but I am crying with laghter, and rolling on the floor...because I just know this one is true. .....................................................................
