QUESTION:

Comment posted Am I Still Eligible For Unemployment If I Have A Temporary Job? by Anglcake.

You are eligible to collect UE if you lose your job thru no fault of your own — being late or not showing up doesn’t count. Some states allow you to collect unemployment and work part-time but it depends on your state. Contact your state Dept. of Labor to see what the eligibility requirements are.

  • I’m really sorry, but I believe that unemployment is only available if you aren’t working at all. It’s supposed to tide you over until you can find something (including temp work).
    You might try looking at the web site for the Department of Unemployment in your state for more info.
  • If you have an income, that you have earned, that you have to file taxes on, then you do not qualify.
  • I don’t know about New Jersey, but in California going to school and not being willing to quit for a job would disqualify you. Having the other job would affect your benefits because it would be a reduction of income rather than a complete loss of income.
    Of course, this is assuming you are entitled to benefits. Here in California, repeated tardiness or absences (with multiple, documented, warnings) is a valid reason for termination and in that case you would not qualify for benefits.
    Your union would know all about this, so before you freak out, talk to them about your specific circumstances. And next time you can’t afford to lose your job, take more care in showing up, on time.
  • Hello,
    I will answer as best I can, but there are alot of “it depends.”
    I’m a nursing student and I work at a hospital close to my home. Lately I’ve been having trouble getting into work on time (or sometimes at all). My boss just called me to go into her office and requested that I bring a union rep with me. I think they’re going to fire me..
    (If you get fired and file as this being your last employer you are not likely to get UI because of your poor attendance)
    Do I qualify for unemployment? (By working for the last 2.5 years you should qualify for a benefit AMOUNT, but they base whether or not you will receive that amount on a decision made about your separation)
    I’ve been working there part time for 2.5 years. at the moment I’m working as a student extern at another hospital for the summer so it’s a temporary position.
    (Do you get paid for working as an extern?) Would this interfere with collecting? what about school? I go to school part time (but full time hours) and won’t be able to look for another job.. would this affect my ability to collect?
    (It depends on whether you get paid as an extern or not)
    i’m so scared because I can’t afford to not have a job and I can’t afford to work during school….
    btw – I live and work in new jersey.
    It would take all day to explain the what ifs, if you would like to ask me questions, you can email me through my page.

  • Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
    I understand it completely. I’m a nursing student (LPN). In Oregon, it is crazy to get into any sort of nursing program. LPN is a little less competitive, but most people want that RN first and are willing to spend two years on a waiting list cooling their heels rather than becoming an LPN first and bridging up to RN.
    It was still crazy to get into the LPN program. I had to take a test, write an essay on the spot, then right five more and submit them, have two letters of recommendation, and do an interview with the program director.
    I think the biggest reason nursing is so competitive is because of the nursing shortage. In such a such @$$ economy, it is a relatively secure job.
    Good luck.

    Actually, this is one career area where the place you obtained your RN from is not as important as the fact that you have the RN. And, it is a well known fact that community colleges and some of the Cal States turn out far better nurses (in terms of clinical hours experience) than the UCs where they are heavy on theory but not so much on clinical experience. I spent 3 days a week on the hospital floor in the CC; but my friend at the UC spent 1/2 to 1 day a week in clinicals. She actually had to take some outside nursing extension courses after she was done to get a bit more experience. Once you start staff nursing, almost no one will ask or care where you got that RN from–all they want is a competent nurse on the floor. FYI-CSULB has a really tremendous nursing program–your family does not understand the nursing career path.

    No!
    Most recruiters ask if you have a license.
  • Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
    Nursing is a regulated profession. Everyone who enters the profession must write the same exam to get a license.
    Therefore everyone starts at the same level of competency as tested by the exam.
    The school you go to does not matter – if they could not prepare nurses who pass the exam they would not be in business.
  • Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
    Nope!
    An RN is an RN and will be an RN. I’m a pre-nursing student at a CA community college and I got accepted to CSU, Bakersfield for their BSN program! With that said, I will be transfering to a CSU and am on my way to be an RN. In the field of nursing, it really doesn’t matter where you get your degree, as long as you are an RN. The nursing field has a shortage unlike other majors, and once you are an RN, you will be working side by side with other RN graduates from top tier universities such as Yale along with community college graduate RNs. If those people tell you to go to a top tier university for nursing, do not listen to them, because they do not know much about the nursing field. Nursing school should never cost you an arm and a leg, so you go to which ever school is the cheapest and convenient for you. Let those other people brag about their lives and their level of education, but one thing they will never understand is that experience teaches.
    Good luck with your endeavors!

    If you have an income, that you have earned, that you have to file taxes on, then you do not qualify.
