I am a new nurse in a residency program. I love my facility and would want to continue with them. But I got a message from my family informing me that my mom is sick and has requested for my presence during this period. She lives in another country. So that would mean me leaving the country to go be with her. Now I have been in this residency program for just about a month and I know they have spent so much money in my training up to this point. But then my mom needs me. This is a sad situation and I don't really know what to do? I know they may not be willing to keep the position for me because I am just a new nurse and secondly because I don't even know how long I will be out for. What do I do? Should I just put in my 2 weeks resignation? (I fear they will most likely ask me to stop without waiting for the 2 weeks since I only work with a preceptor). Please advice me.
That's what I'm saying. You may need to go back and reread my post. You have to work for a time to be covered by FMLA.
Pardon me if I "misread " your post."Seriously? You have to work a significant length of time..." I should have been smart enough to correlate your question mark . And you should be smart enough to specify "significant " . Please reread MY post.. gives the OP exactly what they need.
If that is true, then the person or persons deciding to terminate her are really not good people. Terminating employment because someones mom is severely ill enough to warrant a visit? They deserve to be blasted publicly on the net.
They are not PERSONS. They are a corporation.. that does not give a rat's patooti about OP or her mom. Corporate cares about the bottom line... their profit margin.
Feel free to "blast them on the net" their lawyers are bigger than your lawyers.
If you leave the residency, is there financial obligations that you have to satisfy?
Are you here working on a visa or some other program? In other words, once you leave the country, will you have the ability to return easily?
You may have to think about being at home for some time. When the time comes, THEN you can think about coming back to the US, or to stay at home and work there.
Sounds as if your cultural norm is that you need to go home to your family. It would be difficult for you to stay in America and have your family upset with you. You only have one mother.
There are no financial obligations and I have the ability to return easily.
My feeling about jobs: I was looking for work when I found this one, and I'll be looking for work when I leave. Don't let working get in the way of living.
