3 weeks sick leave 8 weeks in

I started my Dream Job in October. 2 days before I was due to finish orientation, I experienced major illness. It took 3 weeks to get medical clearance to return to work. I finished my orientation this week, and have had a whopping 2 evenings on my own. There's been some scheduling weirdness d/t my extended absence and the holidays. There's

pressure to put in overtime, too, but I'm not exactly medically cleared for that. I got some pretty weird vibes from my primary nurse supervisor while trying to work out next week's schedule. (No, I can't be more specific about the vibes; call it intuition.) I guess I'm just looking for talking points around return to work and limitations and being new to practice/ reassuring pats on the head that this will all be okay.

    I know in my department you cannot return to work with any limitations. Since you were out so long I could see why the supervisor is concerned and possibly skeptical- they are responsible for running a department and need nurses they can count on. I would just tread lightly and do what is asked of you.
