So, I’m kinda unemployed. I work for a home health agency. I usually take care of one certain client. It just so happens that this client’s sister (who also happens to be his guardian) despises me and has been trying to get me fired for months. Well, she finally succeeded. So, they took me off my clients case. My supervisor wants me to come into the office today to offer me another case and a pay raise, but I know I will be looking at over a $3 pay decrease. I was making $12.66 an hour until now. :bash: The benefits are shitty too, so fuck 'em. I’ll go elsewhere. I’m applying at southwest regional medical center, and for a job with the central blood bank (they will train me to draw blood for blood drives). So, if anyone is hiring let me know. I’m a certified nursing assistant with 3 years experience. I can type, I do speedwriting (similar to shorthand), and can use some computer programs. I’m in nursing school as well.

That sucks but things always happen for a reason. There’s something out there waiting for you with your name on it.

Yeah, I think that job at the blood bank would be nice…especially with my health problems. I wouldn’t have to do any lifting or asswiping :bigthumb:  
Pay is only $10.84 though, but it does say they give $1.75 extra an hour if you work on short notice, “the float pool”.

Yeah, but I still made more money than Dom until he starts his new job on the 16th. So no moooching from him. I guess it is like a vacation, except I’m still in school and selling mary kay…at least I dont have to work midnights anymore.

She applied for childrens, something was posted at Waynesburgh for it. If she would get it she would be set for health care.

Luckily, there are tons of jobs in health related fields locally. Sucks that you lost your job, but hopefully the grass is greener on the other side!
