Please help. I was assaulted at work by a violent patient and sustained a broken nose, concussion, and sprained neck, as well as PTSD. I was on workers comp for 3 weeks, then released for light duty but still under the care of a doctor for 3 more weeks. I was finally released for full duty yesterday. While I was off work, I searched for new opportunities and was hired by a different company in another state. My husband was not comfortable with me returning to a job where I was violently attacked and at the time, even I didn't know if I would ever be prepared to return. When I did return, I informed my boss immediately that I had found new employment and would be leaving at the end of the month (3 full weeks notice). Neither I nor my boss was aware that 2 weeks notice could not be given while still under the care of workers comp. I was informed yesterday that at the completion of my employment, I will be considered not eligible for rehire, due to not giving 2 weeks notice after my "official" return to full duty. I am devastated because this is the only nursing job I've ever had and going forward, I will have to tell any potential employers I am not eligible for rehire at this organization. Do I have any rights in this situation? How can I defend my professional integrity? I truly believed I was handling things properly. I now feel like I have been traumatized all over again. Please advise, as I am truly distraught.

I would love to hear any information about this school! I spoke with admissions and I am intrigued by the price and program length, but I am also leery about the lack of information that is available.
