Oh, sick pay—what a delightful concept! Isn’t it charming how some companies offer just enough sick days to make you question your sanity? Who doesn’t love the thrill of deciding whether to drag yourself to work with a fever or lose a day’s pay? Have you ever felt pressured to come in sick instead of using your precious sick days?

Yeah because we don't get sick days, just PTO, and not much of it at that. I want to save those days for something fun, not sitting on the couch surrounded by used Kleenex. I'll only use one if I'm really hurting.

Oh my boss always expects us to come in even when we’re sick and just mask up! If it doesn’t involve a trip tot he ER then it’s not serious apparently

Yep and then they want to get mad at us when we come to work sick! As though we ever really had a choice. I always say it is a luxury to be sick in America.

Don't you get much sick leave in America?

My old job dumped our sick days when the state mandated 7 days sick time for all employees. Anything over 7, use your PTO.

Before that, they'd also pull the trigger in a heartbeat to write up folks who had to take 'excessive' sick time off because of sick kids.

Another hospital had a solid pattern of within a year of forcing out anyone who went out on disability and came back.

Aw PTO is annual leave? You are forced to take annual leave when you are ill?

I didn't get what you mean by another hospital forcing people.

One of the team member has applied leaves for continuous 3 days this month. Later she applied for a 15 days leave saying a medical emergency. Both the leaves were rejected from her manager saying connect with HR. though she is on leave without PM leave approval and this is not even prior notice to the team.
Now'what and all would be the consequences she might face. Is there any chance of these things are being escalated? Please advise!

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
