I handed in my letter of resignation 3wks ago. I have 1 more week to go. I noticed on my check on Friday that they didn't take out any money for my medical benefits. Unable to speak to anyone in HR due to the holiday. Is this legal? I was told that I...

i agree

Congrats to you Lyndsey!!!!! What tips could you offer that would make this journey easier for an older nurse like my self who has been out of school for many years. Which classes would you recommend together as well as classes that should not be ...

I'm trying to prepare myself for the entrance exam at wgu. Any helpful tips for the math? I have been out of school for many many yrs and am not that great at math. I enrolled at a community college but couldnt take the remedial math in the summer. R...

LUV IT!!! THANK YOU

Congrats!!!! I am really afraid to take this class as i really stink at math. I am going to take a remedial math class at my local community college to refresh my memory for algebra. Then i'm going to enroll at wgu. Do you need to know alot of algeb...

Oh crap! I also heard positve things about wgu and have applied recently. Also sent my transcripts a few days ago as well. I'm not sure which classes i have to take just yet. Would you mind elaborating on what is it that you are having difficulty wi...

I resigned last week and gave proper notice (4weeks) to this agency that I worked for for 1 1/2 years. I did'nt get my unused vacation time on my last check.I called HR and left a message but no one called me back. Can they legally do this? I have al...

When it comes to giving 3 references for a new job, do you put down their home telephone number and home address? Or do you give their name and telephone number at work? I don't want anyone to know I'm looking for a different job. I work in a small f...

I left my job in the hospital about a year ago. I am really hating my new job. I really want to go back to my old job but I don't know how to do it. What should I say? Do I speak to human resource? I feel so lost Has anyone asked for their job back...

What is it like working on a mica unit. Is it high stress? What are some of your duties?

How many of you dont get paid for your lunch hour? Just started a new job in a group home and was wondering if this was the norm. Instead of getting paid for 40 hrs I only get paid for 35----Thanks in advance

I recently gave in my letter of resignation. I gave them 5 weeks notice (I still have 2 more weeks to go) Yesterday I called out sick. I am now being told that I won't get paid for that day because once you put your letter of resignation in, you can'...

I was a smoker for 27 yrs. I quit smoking 3 yrs ago. I used the patch for 2 weeks. I was a fiend when it came to cigarettes. I smoked a pack a day. Sometimes 1-2 packs on weekends. My reason for smoking was that I was young and dumb. Started when I w...

I have 1RN, 1LPN, 3MHT for 26-32pts. I work in New York in inpatient psych. If you find that place where pt care and staffing happen, please let me know! LOL :wink2:

I was the one who got her the job yrs ago when we had a different DON. This mangement that we have now, is just plain evil. Morale is so low in the hospital. Most stay because its union and good benefits.

I have resigned from my job and will be starting a new job in 2 weeks. I told the old job that I would stay on per diem . When I went to inquire about my 401k to be rolled over to new job( or I may open an IRA not sure yet) they said I couldnt, beca...

They don't match anything for our 401k. I am vested for a pension after 5 yrs. I have 11 yrs with the hospital. The only reason why i said i would stay per diem is that i have a cousin that still will be working there and i did'nt want them to mess w...

I frequently use ampules. I take a paper towel and fold it over to make it thicker and then break it. Alcohol wipes are to small and thin for me.

I did'nt want to leave my 401k at the old job is because they have done so many shady things to other people. I don't trust them. We are a union hospital yet our union delagates hang out with management sipping coffe and talking about everyone behi...

He's probably scared that you might make more than him and then leave him. The same thing happened to my sister. Every night just before a test he would fight with her. She would be in tears before her test. My sister did finally become a nurse. It ...

I have to give in my resignation letter by Friday. Do I have to give it to my nurse manager, director of nursing and human resources? That would mean I need 3 resignation letters? I have never done this before and am literally sick to my stomach abo...
