   per diem job

   bill4745 replied to PAM 3845's topic in Nursing

   I can understand that they probably would have to pay you time and a half if you worked over forty hours, but I am not aware of any laws that require benefits to be paid. Is there a union there? The union may require benefits for anyone working forty hours.

   HR lied to Unemployment!!

   bill4745 replied to jodyangel's topic in Nursing

   I used to own a business in Delaware, and have dealt with this many times. If they have your statement in writing that you are resigning, you are wasting your time with an appeal. It's not fair the way you were treated but that's the way it is.

    Not sure if I am making the right decision?

    bill4745 replied to mybabies2000's topic in General Career

    From what you have said, it seems like you know the answer. If you have no plans on working as a nurse, what is the point in getting your license back?

    Home Health vs. Rehab to reach ultimate goal

    bill4745 replied to pradachick's topic in Nursing

    Rehab would be a better experience for you. Also, home health would not be a great place for a new nurse. I did it for a while; you are really on your own making some major decisions, such as whether or not someone needs to go to the ED, etc.

    Any RN's willing to help out??

    bill4745 replied to dbonilla1170's topic in Nursing

    I empathize with your situation, but how could you possibly expect someone who does not know you to write a letter of recommendation? What would you tell the school when they ask what your relationship is with the writer of the letter?

    Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    bill4745 replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year

    exactly what i would have said. but in the er when i'm loud the doctors and nurses know that a patient is crashing and they need to come help. being quiet has its advantages.
