In response to my post - my cousin was advised that the flu vaccine could take her out of remission therefore she should not be immunized as would do more harm than good. I am not doubting her story as she lost a job she loved and cannot work in the health field again unless she submits to the vaccine. I don't have access to her records so you can quote whatever research you like but that is her story.

My cousin was a pharmacist with history of Cancer. Was advised by her employer that she had to have flu shot. Her oncologist advised her against it so she refused. She was fired.

It is horrifying to hear of these stories. Unfortunately we cannot go around with video cameras like police do. So sorry you went through that!

Did you send a thank you post interview? That seems to be a big thing with some HR/Nurse Managers. In the thank you you let them know that you are interested in the job as well as thanks for taking the time to meet with you.

Where is that job offer? maybe I'll go for it:)

Immediately during interview process.

Please find a new job. Yours is not easy and will never get easier. There are less stressful nursing jobs out there. Your health and life are more important than continuing where you are.

I worked at one that was local to my house - great reputation. It was small, 33 patients but medications and treatments were very heavy. What got me was the politics - what a joke. The administrator and DON were a thing - the DON never showed up to work when scheduled leaving me to work alone. The CNAs ran the place - administrator would put it on me to straighten out the issues yet whenever I tried to fix anything, he sided with the aides. I loved the patients but I refuse to bend to politics. God bless all staff in LTC - it takes a heart of gold to put up with the crap.

I love the smell of alcohol wipes and change of shift!

It is a sad day in healthcare when you even need a law like this in order to give nurses entitled break time. It should be common sense.

I hope you heal quickly! just make sure you take the time to take care of yourself and don't push it. Good luck in your recovery.

Sorry for all your heartache - I hope your move goes well and life gets better.

You can't change what people think of you; you can only change yourself. I would let it go. I remember cross training for mother-baby unit and being promised the next job. Well, brand new nurses were getting directly hired to unit and I kept getting floated there but not hired. The Nurse Manager apparently knew my husband in the past and took it out on me. Needless to say, I finally had enough of the politics and gave notice - she then told me she would get me there for the next opening but I had to decline at that point as I felt misery would follow. I never could play politics! Just keep doing your job and smiling - you are better than having to beg to be recognized for your worth.

I agree with all prior comments. One I would like to add is Learn to say NO. Although you need to be a team player, it is not your job to staff the floor 7 days/week. You need your days off to recoup so when asked repeatedly to do extra shifts, know your limits.

HI all I am planning to move to SC within the next year or so. First question is what do I have to do to obtain a SC license? I am from NJ. Secondly, I would like to move to the Myrtle Beach area - are there any insurance companies around that area? I do workers compensation, GL and auto claim. Wondering on job leads. Thank you for any advice.
