Hi guys, Thanks you the feedback. So this is what I got from everyone: My employers can do whatever they want and if I am fired, I have no recourse to do anything about it and will not qualify for unemployment.
Hi, the hospital I work for in Texas has instituted a new policy of forcing all non-clinical nurses to go back to bedside nursing and take care of COVID patients. Nurses are told that they don't have a choice but resignation. I haven't done bedside nursing in over 7 years (been doing quality and informatics) and feel that I don't have it in me (skillwise and desire) to go back to bedside nursing. What should I do? - Can hospitals really force people to resign or is this just a tactic so that they don't have to pay unemployment? - Do nurses qualify for unemployment? - Can safe harbor be invoked here?
