I'm thinking about becoming a nurse and I want to know just how many hours registered nurses typically work in a week. Is the workload too much? Is there enough free time?

Please only reply if you or somone you know if a nurse. No guesses please!

I am 18 years old, and have applied for a job for different stores. Everytime I applied to work for a certain store, I applied to be a cashier. At some stores I did apply more then once. When I applied at every store, I completed the application and filled out my correct information. I applied to work at 5 different stores, and 2 of them were supermarkets?

Every time I applied for a job, every store refused to interview me. I did qualify for every store job, that applied for.

weeks ago I applied to work for a Petsmart. I applied online, and spoke to the manager of the store. I told him, that I have experience with animals and I also told him, that I am willing to do the job I applied for. He told me to call him back the following week. The following week, I called him back and he refused to give me an interview for no reason.

Because of this bad experience, I hate stores. What is the point of treating a job applicant like this?

I got let got from my job after 9 months . I passed the 6 month probationary time period. I was leaving for 2 weeks vacation and as I was leaving they call me into HR and all my boss says is "We are letting you go " . Have a good vacation. They give me 7 weeks salary and 1 month benefits ( I am 40 years old and this is in NY city)

I ask why and he says performance. Your not working out . I never got a warning and never written up and had no clue. I ask " Why did you never say anything to me " If there was something i could have worked on" and says "Just isnt working out"
One friend says they should do more for me since they are fireing me with no warning ( AS I walk out the door to vacation that I cant afford to go on now) andto see an employment attorney and the other says NY is a fire a will state and I have no recourse .
I am kind of mad and glad they gave me 7 weeks pay ( AS long as I sign away my right to sue in the future) but still I have a family.
Anyone with experiance

Im 16 years old and attending Continental Academy. I left the 8th grade in feb. 07 to attend their home schooling program. I looked questions up about the school in the answers section and found out that people where getting denied jobs and into schools, but other people where getting better jobs and into schools. I've been thinking about this for the past week. I'm afraid to back to school because that means I wont finish until I'm 21 and I'll have to go back to middle school and be 17 in the 8th grade. The only reason I didn't really look into the school was because my cousin attended it and now she is in a community college. The only thing is she left public schools in the 11th grade. Does anybody have any information that will help me out. I really would appreciate it. I live in Norfolk, Virginia if anyone needs to look into any information.

I have tried to reach out to him about it on numerous occasions and offered to help. I have even tried to engage HR but with no success in getting the review completed. The company's HR policy on reviews is weak and reviews are constantly late for all employees. They tell us salary increases are retroactive but its more than just about the money, I want feedback on my performance and want to be compensated in a timely manner.

They forgot to add nursing, radio/ultrasound/mri tech and whole bunch of other medical professions to this.

Kind of scary that in just 2 years of training a 20 year old could be taking care of your life if you're in the hospital. Yikes.

Hi.
I wondered if anyone could help me out a bit here.
I want to open an Ebay shop, but wondered how hard/easy it actually is.
When I've looked at the idea on Ebay, it says I need a VAT number. How do I get one of those & also at the moment I'm unemployed, would that matter in getting this number. I sell a few things that I've got from clearing out at home in order to get a bit of money behind me so I can buy stuff wholesale & sell it. I already have a wholesaler & have been ordering a few things to get a good supply of stuff before I take the plunge.
Could someone please be kind enough to help me with a little bit of knowledge.
I really want to get out of being unemployed & due to a spinal cord injury I'm stuck at home quite a bit these days.
Thankyou very much in advance.

FYI, this new company that contacted me is the job I really wanted all along. What should I tell them, should I lie and say I'm not working, or should I tell them the truth about taking a new position but being interested in theirs- will it make me look bad is what I'm wondering? Thanks!

I decided to leave a job after only being there a week. The job was simply not for me. I rang the company the following week to advise them of the fact. A month later, having not received my P45 or payment for the week worked, I emailed them. I promptly got a reply stating that I had broken the rules of contract,but I had only been there a week. Also, a weeks training was wasted on me - I didn't have any training it was a case of showing me the basics and leaving me to it. I immediately sent an email stating that I am entitled to that payment. Again, I received another email stating that the trial period was for a month and that I had broken that agreement. I was also advised to seek legal aid so that perhaps a settlement could be agreed upon, if there is to be one. This person also said that in the meantime he would be working out the cost of training me for a week. Incidentally, I started working for the company on 9th July 2007.

I will be 40 in a few months and have been working in an administrative field for over 20 years. In the last few years I've had aspirations of going back to school to obtain a Funeral Director's license. These two fields are comparitively very different. What results did you have when you made the change? Do you have regrets?

a girl at work was 1 1/2 hours late for work today, claiming that she had a doctors appointment, she did not mention the appoitment previously, she has an appointment card, but I am guessing that it was an emergency appointment, but in that case she would not get a card.... COULD BE A LIE!

Then she is now saying that she needs to go home beacuse of personal problems at home, but refuses to go into detail about it.

I am not a manager or supervisor, I am a senior member of staff but this girl is telling me that she wants to go now and asking me to let the managers know.

The managers are based in another city.

She is worrying that she will get the sack, because she is asking me to lie to the manager and tell them that she is ill, when there is nothing medically wrong with her, she is claiming there is something wrong at home.

She is always going to the doctors every fortnight for some reason.

What do you think of this situation.
