The lady who assured me that my schedule wouldn't be a problem is currently in England bc her mother had a stroke. And today I was given the ultimatum of stay all day for more orientation and have a job or leave at noon to get to clinicals and resign my position. Clinicals won. I just can't believe a facility wouldn't be willing to give me a little wiggle room in return for gaining an RN in three semesters. I can't devote myself to an institution that doesn't support higher education, especially for nurses. Thanks again for all your input. I know in my heart I made the right decision and it will pay off in the end.

Thanks for the input, everyone. One of the biggest factors here is money. I live in Orlando (we have an unbelievably high unemployment rate) and this position is for the county (excellent benefits, decent pay). I have three kids, a mortgage and an underemployed husband. GRRRRRR. I was really hoping this would go better than it is ...

I just accepted a new job as a corrections nurse at the county jail. During my interview, I fully disclosed that I'm enrolled in an LPN to RN bridge program and may have some scheduling conflicts on occasion (I only have clinicals one day a week, and the position I accepted is for nights). I was told it wasn't a big deal and they would work with me. Today I had my second day of orientation at the jail, and they JUST NOW told me I'd be working the day shift for the first 4 weeks for orientation to the floor. I mentioned that I'd have to work around my clinical schedule was told that would be a problem and that if they made exceptions for me, they'd have to make them for everyone. I was given the impression that this would not be an issue, but now it is? It was left at "you'll have to do some real soul searching..." as in choose between my one day of school a week or full time employment. *****! Why would they tell me it wouldn't be a problem if that's not the case? What should I do? I'm not willing to give up my seat in the RN program (it's been a long road getting here!), but I also need the money and would love the experience from the jail. I'm feeling really mislead and thrown under the bus over this. Any advice?

dude. if we just replace all the corn in the midwest with pot, we'd be the richest, most powerful nation with NO DEBT instantly! the government is putting an end to ethanol use in our gas, which effectively bankrupts the entire midwest. they need a new crop to replace their worthless corn!

it could be as simple as your night mask being too tight or pushing on pressure points. i too work nights and wear a mask to keep it dark and if it's not on correctly, I'll wake up with a killer headache. hope you get it figured out!
