    • About Me

      I'm a 50yr old, unemployed nurse, looking for a job. I'm an excellent nurse, (if I can say that about myself) however, I don't want to work in a hospital any longer, because they just abuse the nurses. Being understaffed, they force you to work overtime, or put you on call during some ridiculous hour, or call you every day you have off and beg you to come in since it's busy. You can say, the hospitals are cutting their own throats, because they don't treat their nurses well. I have 2 grown kids that are my pride and joy. (knock on wood) I've never had any problems with either of them. They've grown up to be success, thoughtful and self-reliant adults.

      : Loss of a Parent

      At this point in my life, I am overcome with grief. I've lost my brother and mother in a matter of 5mos. (brother died 8/12/07 suddenly of a heart attack. mom died 1/12/08 from a long battle of ovarian and breast cancers.) I took FMLA after my brother died, because I just was so overcome by grief. My mom just got so bad too, and my dad needed help. Unfortunately, the company I worked for, terminated my employment, because on the 91st day, saying my FMLA expired. I explained that my doctor wouldn't release me. They didn't care. (Talk about kickin a gal when she's down) Then, 3/3/08, my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer. I'm about to loose it. I can't cope with all this!
