   Thanks. I'm trying not to completely freak out. It was very underhanded of them to tell me at 5:00 when they knew I couldn't get ahold of anyone. But I have some great friends helping me through this. At this point all I can do is pray.

10. Lost job now what?

    ceneil76 replied to ceneil76's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, thank you for your response. I was thinking that all along. The floor I was on is very cliquey. I had a feeling and still do that I ran afoul of the clique.
