    Bereavement

    79Tango replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    I think it would be hard to have bereavement pay listed in a travel contract. As you know the company can usually only bill the hospital for hours worked. That being said you have been with the same...

    WOW.. At least they are asking you to come back in. This may not be a done deal yet. You just need to play this very smartly. If you absolutely cannot afford an lawyer, I would demand a witness...

    79Tango replied to ShellyRn1117's topic in General Nursing

    I do not see how that would be considered falsifying.. If she thought she had you on something she wouldve sent you out for a UA immediately. Too bad she didnt as a clean test wouldve been some saving...
