    Coronavirus and Pay

    caliotter3 replied to Marianna5's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What happens if you quit?

    caliotter3 replied to ghillbert's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It would make sense to me to expect employers who take on replacement employees to take the places of those who quit during this time, to show preference to keeping those replacement employees, when...

    Was I a complete idiot for wanting to get into OB? Now I'm lost and don't know what to do with my life.

    SINGLE STATE LICENSE

    caliotter3 replied to KaforeignRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if non-citizens can work in federal facilities, assuming the OP is not yet a citizen, either way, the federal background check is a bear, but still worth looking into. Federal, VA employment...

    I am working full time and considering adding that seventh day a week with another employer because my rent on the first is that much more than it was a year ago, due to the yearly increase. The...

    Am I being overly cautious? Covid-19

    caliotter3 replied to Orion81RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She could feel that she is contributing by doing one shift a week with a cherry-picked patient. Very easy, an infant, toddler, or young bedridden child that lives in a home where there is little to...

    Minimum Wage????

    I walked away once when after all on boarding, I was quoted an insulting hourly wage. Since I was good and unemployed at the time and working for that employer would have necessitated an inordinate...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Reading your saga reminds me of a version of myself through the years and the admonition a colleague gave me decades ago, “You can be right, and you can be dead right”. At least you will be able...

    Resting Up For Night Shifts

    caliotter3 replied to Mya K. Brewster's topic in General Nursing

    AT A LOSS - COVID High Risk Nurse

    caliotter3 replied to motherofcats's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From my outlook, I would advise you to keep the job. Take things one day at a time. You would kick yourself if you overreacted and later found that things passed your facility and unit in a mild wave,...

    Medical leave ending but no job yet. Accept another?

    caliotter3 replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you should accept the new job. Just tidy up your departure with a resignation letter to your non-understanding old employer. Sounds as if you were not totally at fault there. Start over in a...
