The bad things just keep rolling in...

Well, I just lost my position as an orthopedic nurse because of my injury, and the fact that Alliance says I have a 25 pound lifting restriction. (Which I have been working around this whole time). They are going to "try" to find me another position in the hospital, but if they can't, then I don't have a job right now. I am so upset.

Aren't you in a union? If so, they can't not give you a position. And if they dont' have one, you'll get disability right? Don't get too worked up yet. Talk to your union rep or HR person. I know how stressful it is to have an uncertain employment future. Hang in there.

something seems off there.  when was the weight restriction gouing to become an issue?  and wasn't the injury work related?  they can't get rid of you over an injury.  i agree with lindsay.....talk to hr, and also bring up workmans comp.

good luck an keep us posted.

oh, and i think my neighbor, melissa,  is a nurse in orthopedics.

Yeah I told my boss when I first found out that I was pregnant that my OB said I had a weight restriction, she said that I could just use my PCTs to help me lift so that I could keep working--so atleast I did tell her that I had one. The HR lady said I would have to go on leave if she couldn't find me a position. Well, I get paid nothing for 'leave' and disability doesn't pay much from what I am heard. Maybe I'm snobby, but I'm not accepting anything less than 100% compensation...its not like I was acting inappropriately and got hurt, I was walking down the dang hall trying to get my patient some grape juice and a bag of IV fluid! LOL.

Next time, make your patient get YOU some grape juice. You're the pregnant one.
