WV RN

In our hospital, the only workers who are not in the Union are the Business Office and the RN's. Our hospital was strictly anti-union until 9yrs ago. I was even told during my interview (fifteen years ago) the the "u" word was a bad word and was not to be spoken!

My mother-in-law was a Jehovah's Witness. She had leukemia, and I gave her Epogen three times a week.(She passed away in 1997) If it was frowned upon by her Church, she never mentioned it.

Don't feel guilty! I remember several years ago we had a crackdown hospital-wide on call-ins. Everyone was called into the office given a verbal warning with a threat of suspension for "the next time"...Well, leave it to me to have strep throat during that time..I went to the ER the night before my scheduled shift and was treated. The next morning I had to work with a fever of 104..I was not allowed to call in..I was sicker than the patients I was assigned to that day! Finally my supervisor decided I was too sick to be at work and sent me home..A little to late IMO after I had been around everyone that morning..

I work for Williamson Memorial Hospital in Williamson, West Virginia.. I have been with this company for 15 years..
