    Sometimes life sends you a loud message.
    “GET ON WITH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE”
    “MOVE ON”.
    Find a new job.
    Let go of the past it is gone.
    C’mon we’re talking Sam’s Club/Walmart in PACOIMA no less! There’s soooo much more to life.

    Please help me
    Hi there!
    My friend sent me your page because we both used to work at Sam’s Club.
    She still works there as a cashier but I was wrongfully terminated Monday night May 7, 2007.
    I have been a faithful employee for over a year there.
    I worked in the Optical center.
    I worked there part time, go to school full time and intern as well.
    Wednesday, May 2, 2007 I clocked in earlier, at 4:00, wasn’t secluded until 4:30 so as I was on my way down I got distracted and didn’t end up going down there till 4:24.
    All night long I didn’t have one member it felt like so when I went to take my break I lost track of time.
    I was called back to Optical because there was a member waiting, although I didn’t get the page because I was upstairs in the break room.
    One of the managers Robert came up to tell me and asked me how long I had.
    I said 2 minutes because at that time I realized that I had lost track.
    So I went down there a minute later and they were gone.
    Later on Robert comes in optical leaning on my desk, right in my face (too close for comfort) and asked me if I was on my lunch.
    I said “On my lunch, I was on break.” He asked me if I knew if breaks were only supposed to be 15 min? I said yes, then he asked me how long was I up there, I said like 20.
    I knew that I had messed up. That night I clocked out at 8:20 instead of 8:30 because I didn’t want to get in trouble again for having clocked in early.
    My next day back to work was Monday. My manager was acting weird so I knew something was up but had no idea what. About 8:00 I was called up to the manager’s office and the manager from the front end (she’s new I don’t know her name) terminated me.
    All the time that I worked at Sam’s I have never got a member’s complaint, never written up, never couched, not a D-day, nothing.
    I don’t understand how they can just fire me like that.
    They said that I stold company hours which makes sense but I don’t think that it’s fair that other people get all these warnings and I just jet canned.
    Now my friend is saying that Robert (Robert C?) told everyone that I lied to him, which I didn’t.
    I don’t think that it’s fair.
    I feel that they were just making an example out of me.
    I not looking for my job back or anything.
    Funny thing is that day I got fired I was going to put my 2 weeks in but couldn’t because, Debbie (the lady that does that) wasn’t there that day.
    I just feel like it wasn’t fair to me at all and I know when I’m mistreated. I’m asking for advice, is there anything that I would be able to do?
    I really don’t know what to do. Like I said I don’t want my job back, I just want justice.

  • 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.
  • Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?
    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!
