CONGRATS! Yes, getting time off is frequently problematic for us in nursing. Good luck! debbie

Congrats on your date Melannie! I just told them at work that I needed 6 weeks FMLA and they can't say a word to you. I did tell a few people including my manager but otherwise I just went on my way. Do you work in the Hosp or an office? I am sure an office would be a lot harder to get the time off from. Best to you Jen 243/178/140

Congratulations on your date Melannie. My thoughts and prayers will be with you for a speedy recovery. I am still waiting for my approval and date. You should a have FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) request that you can use to go off work. I believe it is Federally mandated for all states. God Bless and keep us posted on how your doing. Wishing you the best Tammy

Congratulations! I will be praying for you. I go in tomorrow..Halloween...

Congratulations! My prayers go out to you for a safe and quick recovery! I had my surgery eight months ago and am so glad that I did it. I have so much more energy. I feel like I have gotten my life back again! Let us all know how things go! Be patient with the nurse's while you are in the hospital, they say we make the worst patients. I actually think the nurses appreciated me that I didn't ask them for the petty things that sick patients ask for. Best wishes! Diana
