That's what I thought too.

here in oregon they have to be paid within 24hours if they dont get paid.(do to getting fired) so i guess each state is differnt when it comes down to that..

but still it shouldnt be. as it should be all the same

I hope you get 2 weeks severance pay.

Oh yeah isn't that something, that is becuz the manager that we have at our office isn't a manager she is an accountant and has no people skills. She has done that before when shes let other people go. always having security there. its like a sign of authority. If u only knew the way we got treated there it would make u sick. Trust me i didn't do anything to have security called other then to say i was getting my stuff before i left.

No just my vacation hours that i got accured

You are entitled to 2 weeks severance pay.

They are begging for nurses where I live in CT. E-mail me if you want more information.

I had my hours cut, but was treated the same way. No explanation, just "we are cutting your hours" and you have this many hours with this client, and this many with the other.

I don't know what to say about the boyfriend. When I think about it, I was in shock the first day. It is good to get out and not dwell.

Nope nothing more then a letter that they gave as i walked out the door saying due to finicial changes my job is being terminated. Trust me i wish there was a logical reason. I worked hard and the company started losing money so the manager never liked me cuz i stood up for myself. The Doctor only cared about making money and not about the patients or his employees. And i was the direct opposite.

Actually new federal regulations state that a person must receive their paycheck on the normally scheduled day they receive it. There is no 24/72 hour "law". If you had one check due Tuesday and another 3 tuesdays from now, that's when you are, by law, supposed to get them. Generally, state law follows federal law.

Apply for unemployment and get a new job...and a new boyfriend, in my opinion. Nurses are still highly in demand. Don't sweat it. Take a day off and relax and consider your next move. You have one.

Oops. I misread the part about your boyfriend. Maybe it's a good thing if you worry and stress, to have someone there to help you relax and see the bright side. Being supportive doesn't always mean agreeing with you and especially not drowing in your sorrow with you. (Sorry, boyfriend)

In my life, every bad thing led to a better thing. It usually does.

nope just your vacation hours that were accured.

I've been in nursing for 17 yrs, 8 as LPN, 9 as RN.
There is a home for everyone who is a nurse.
File unemployment, take a few days off, enjoy yourself, decide whats next. Make this an OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU to do something different.Move to another city if you can, try another field in nursing.
If a door gets slammed shut in your face, bust open a window.

You have every right to file for (and receive) unemployment compensation, as you were fired without valid cause, for no reason. I would also highly suggest placing a call to the Better Business Bureau, as well as one to the corporate head office, if they're not aware of the situation that's been going on.

Sometime it good to be selfish. Would suspect that working with oncology pts you've seem a collage of reactions and emotions. While going through CPE training my supervisor told me something rather surprising. "Sometimes you have to enjoy your pain." He didn't mean swimming a pool of self pity. Oncology pts had taught me the futility of that. They did teach me much about embracing life...the good, the bad, the uncertainty, the laughter, the tears, and the importance of sometimes just sitting still and embracing the moment. What ever that moment may be.
