A miscarriage is not something one can just shrug off and show up at work. Attempt a meeting with the DON before giving up on this position she might give you another go. Good luck.

New grad with an associate's degree in the Washington DC Metro area here. I got an offer to transition from a nursing assistant at the nursing home I've worked at for the last few years to a RN charge nurse position. Now the problem; human resources person just informed me that one of the conditions is getting paid at my CNA rate for 90 days of probation (half of what new grad RNs are supposed to make). If I successfully complete the 90 days my I get the backdated difference and if not successful I walk away with nothing. To my knowledge other people transitioning from CNAs to LPN or RN positions have not been subjected to this absurd demand. I have a week to decide weather to take the deal or not. I need the job but while getting paid. Fresh off the street grads are getting paid at regular rate why should I be punished for having worked there ? Is this a convoluted way of saying 'we don't want you here' ? My record as a CNA is spotless btw. Does this happen elsewhere ? How do I negotiate to a deal just like the others. :confused:
