    OrganizedChaos replied to angel15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have been applying for jobs in towns that are an hour away. But with my job history I am getting rejected. So it looks like I will have to apply for disability because I don't know if I can really...

    Wow, I didn't know that! But honestly I think I am going to have to take a step back from working. My husband & I have separated so I have had to take a hard look at myself. My bipolar disorder is...

    It's not on my actual record, just on the record with the company so I can no longer work with them. Does that make

    Oh I know. But if I can qualify for unemployment & make some kind of money while I'm in-between jobs, it's worth it. If I can keep them on the hook long enough to pull benefits, that works for me....

    I know they won't, they pretty much said so. But I haven't been officially terminated, that's the thing, I'm still an employee. If I resign, then I can't apply for unemployment & they haven't...
