Guest guest Posted October 16, 2002 Report Share Posted October 16, 2002 Dear e: Hi Sweetie, hang in there! Yeah, it doesn't always pay to be upfront with these f******s does it? I hate to say this, but you should have just taken off when you had your 1,000. You try to do the right thing and get up the butt anyway. Just take comfort in the fact that you did work hard in the time that you were there. Don't they know that you're relocating to Denver? I wonder why they're so uptight then. Geeez, it's not like your quitting them to go to a competitor down the street. Anyway, can't you work a a nursing temp agency in the meantime? I know they pay well too--it's called floating nurses in the DC area. I suppose that would take time though--with the interview process and all.....shit, I'd be pissed too. Sorry you had a crappy day, if it makes you feel any better, you're not alone--my day sucked to. I found out I need this dental work done that's far more expensive than anticipated--and it was b/c my oral surgeon screwed up. So this has torn me out a new a**hole too. Let me know if I can help.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 OK honey I reread your email and the last paragraph stuck out, she officered for you to work the last two weeks. Hmm as much as it would suck to go back there, I say if you need the money it is a def option. Plus it shows them all that you are the true professional there, I mean in nursing it is supposed to be about the patients anyhow right? I may be wrong, but I think that you could suck it up and go back and finish your 2 weeks and say f em or else you risk the chance of not having enough money to go back to Denver. Look at it this way, you wont every have to look at any of them again once you are gone right? Lord knows I have had to suffer with some bitches for bosses in the world of medical care before. My last boss in Ca was a queen and nothing ever pleased her, she always found some mistake or something that was not done right. I was so happy to leave that place, that was when I decided I would rather be a unit secretary than make big bucks working in an office for a bitch. I don't know about you but I sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for a man! I have never had a male boss ever? Why is that? I think sometimes we need more men in nursing management positions, but maybe I am wrong! What do you think? Anyhow let us know what you do decide, either way I know you will be supported on the group and by me. hugs and stop that suicide shit ok! I know what it feels like to want to die, but people do need you in this world even if you don't see it or feel it! we care ----- Original Message ----- From: JUSTINE RENE' Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 2:25 PM Subject: Crappy day Hi everyone. I went to work today, and was going to give my 2 wk notice (last day of work Oct 31), and when I got there, everyone was all sickly sweet, and I looked at our board where we put the nurses names and the PACU slots they are working in, and well, my name wasn't there. So I immediately knew something was up. I called the OR manager, as the PACU manager is on vacation, and she came out. I went into her office and gave her my 2 wk notice, and asked what was up? She told me that because I was giving my 2 wk notice, they were accepting it as my last day of work today. They felt that since I have only worked there since Aug, I didn't need to give 2 wk notice, so my last day was today, and they didn't even need me to work. I was pissed, and hurt. I have busted my ass for them since Aug, taking call during the wk and on wknds, coming in at 3am to recover a surgical pt; coming in on my day off to cover lunch; and staying late to help out. And they just told me to go f*** myself. They are angry that I'm leaving, and that's what it boils down to. So this is the way they treat me. I raised hell. I had to hold my head up and go back into PACU, grab my stuff, and I marched my ass right down to the Director of HR, where I told her the story, and that I was going to file a grievance. She was shocked and promised that she would get in touch with the Director of Perianesthesia Services. Well, when I got home, I already had a msg from this Perianesthesia Director saying to call her and I could work the last 2 wks. But my dilemma is this: the staff now looks at me as being fired, and as there is in any hospital, when this happens, there is talk. But, I am short about $1000 for my move to Denver, and I need the money. However, I just don't know if I can go back to that PACU after what happened and be able to work comfortably. It's such an awkward situation, and I'm just stuck. First, I was so furious that they took out their anger on me the way they did, but then it upset me so and I just cried once I got home. Once again, f***** God at work. I swear, either there is no God, or he hates me so much he just wants to see me fail. He's probably up there right now laughing his ass off at another failure he created for me. God, sometimes I can't help but think that suicide is the only option and the only way to peace...... e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 : Good point. I think it's best to go back to work for those assholes for another two weeks than to loose out on the money--now that they have asked e to come back. Hopefully the agency will have something for her so she can get some cash for Denver. LM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
