off sick

World UK

hi I feel really guilty for going off sick for a UTI to make it worse my manager rang me at home and told me o get some barley water and come to work and that it was no reason to go sick I already went to A&E for some antibiotics so I could not go sick but the next day I got worse I couldn't stop shaking and felt worried about even driving my car I went back to the doctors and they gave me some different antibiotics cause I still had the infection after my manager had rang me I couldn't stop crying I rang HR and they said they will speak to her but I feel nervous that I may have made things worse for myself

Well, I would still be looking if my manager treated me like that. Wouldn't you?

Sometimes it is the only hospital for many many miles due to closures and how local authorities spend the money. Not everyone can relocate either. From speaking to family and friends I am glad I am no longer living in the UK

yeah I am looking for another job but there don't seem to be any auxiliary jobs going and because the trust are reducing auxiliary post on ward I dont have have much hope but I need to get off there I reported my manager to HR and they said they would ring her I think they did cause she didn't say much when I had my back to work interview when I went back but shes treating everyone like that another nurse was being sick in the toilets and she would not let her go home makes you reluctant to try and go in cause she wont let you go home when your there

Call the union in if you are having no luck with HR or go to the divisional director of nursing
