I graduated from nursing school in May 2010 and was just hired onto a Medical-Surgical unit at our local hospital as a night nurse (7p-7a). I have never worked nights!! All of my clinicals and internships through school were during the day! Are ther...

I just accepted an offer in a Pediatrician's office for quite a large healthcare system in our city and I am beyond thrilled! :) It has been 18 months since I have been in the workforce due to medical issues (3 major surgeries) but I am all recovered...

What exactly does it mean when next to your employment status it states: Withdrawn? I have never heard of that before.......

Exactly! :)

I actually kept tabs on their job postings/positions and mine was never posted. They actually took down a bunch of open positions they were hiring for.....almost as if the budget wouldnt allow. I was not eligible for ST/LT disability benefits due to ...

Thank You....I did get quite a few compliments while I was there. Maybe I should ask about recommendations. :) I wont be defeated!

Thank you for the hugs....all I can do is hold me head high and get on the job hunt. It is hard to be positive but I must try to be successful :)

No worries GrnTea...and I am so sorry for snapping. I have been so stressed. I just received a certified letter stating my position was terminated. I feel so low on myself. Back into the job hunt I was given no warning from my management or HR....th...

I did but my manager asked me to either text or email her updates. She just wanted to be kept in the loop. Sometimes it was every other day or few days. She was informed though on a regular basis.

I kept in contact with my manager and HR on a daily basis. Our email servers were also changed and passwords do expire, locking us out. I guess I will find out on Monday....they should have at least told me before I was due to return.

No need to be rude GrnTea. I see this on my own HR website for the company I work for. And they way I stated it is exactly how it is written out under Employment Verification on my employee portal/HR website.To make a long story short, 2 months into ...

When you request employment verification and it states: employment status: withdrawn.

I was a nanny :) Good money and a lot of fun!

This has happened to me....think of it as being flattering

I am not a hospital nurse....I work in a public health department M-F 8:30am-5pm :) Hospital nursing hours just did not work out for me.

I am highly interested in being a nurse that works in the entertainment industry. I know nurses can work for sports teams, travel with musical/performing artists, and so much more. I do not want to be a traditional hospital nurse...I just feel like I...

You need a healthy body to take care of your patients. They do not want you sharing those germs. Do not feel guilty!!

I have been out of work for 3 weeks after catching the flu and a severe upper respiratory infection that landed me in the hospital. I am a severe asthmatic and it was very scary and of course I JUST started this new job.....talk about guilt. But the...

I have been working at my new job in a Pediatric practice for one month now and it feels like a whirlwind. I am learning so much so quickly, it sometimes feels like I am a burden. The doctors have told me I am slow and complained about me being slow ...

I begin work as a pediatric clinic RN starting Monday after being out of the workforce for 18 months due to major surgery. I am now ready to shake a tail feather and get out there! I have purchases a pocket peds clinical guide, made myself a pocket a...

Your advice means a lot! I begin work in the actual office tomorrow :)

In nursing school I was caring for an elderly gentleman and noticed in his room that he had proudly hung up his sports illustrated swimsuit calendar on the wall. I went to take his vital signs and he promptly asked me while pointing at the calendar "...

The new job I just got...I am considered full time working in a physicians office. I work 4 days a week (8:30am-5:30pm) with one set day off a week. I also work one weekend a month (8am-12noon). Would I get paid for 36 hours a week or 40? I am confus...

I dont think we get paid for lunch.
