"What if you hurt your back? You wouldn't be covered. I do not believe this is legal and i wouldn't touch a patient if I was not a paid employee" you have a point Crunch. Thank you so much. I really should be more aware of legalities and consequences of things if I agree to do something

Thank you everyone for your responses. :) I have been thinking about what you all said. It's nice to be given advices by fellow nurses who understands my situation. The problem with me maybe is I don't know how to say "no." I am sometimes a pushover and being a nurse I know I should change that. Now my problem would be how do I turn down their job offer without sounding ungrateful or unprofessional?

Thank you everyone for your responses. :)

Thank you for your time to reply :) I was actually thinking it wasn't fair so I'm probably going to turn down the job offer

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be joining allnurses. Yay! :) Anyway, I am a new grad and recently passed my nclex. i've been looking for jobs and I was offered to work in an LTC. But then, they told me that my orientation will not be paid. I was wondering if this is normal or even legal? Thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts.
