    I doubt anyone in real life would pass such an offer. There’s so much good she could have done training-wise and for her family.

    Wicky gets the old offer – Marcy gets the new one, since they REALLY want her to do it.

    Lol no that’s not how this works in the real world. In the real world, the person who rejected the offer now accepts it because more money. And again, I don’t understand why Marcy doesn’t want this job; she said it herself it would mean more time with the kids and she would be making more money. Who would not want that?

    Take the job Marcy, you can volunteer with patients on the 2 days off.

    Big mistake, Marcy. You won’t be there forever and you had the chance to train the next generation of cardiac nurses.

    I agree – IRL she would never pass it up. She would work the 3 days teaching and work on the floors the other 2, if she so chooses. But then again, this is not real life.

    Having been a nurse for almost 30 years, I can totally understand her decision. We all have our niche, our calling, the one place where we know we can do the most good. Once you find that place, no amount of money or perks will make leaving feel like the right thing to do. I’ve turned down opportunities for just those reasons and I’ve never looked back or regretted a single decision.

    In the real world, they would have offered this position to someone largely unqualified but who has connections to management.

    If you’re offered a position and you care about doing a good job, it seems sad to turn it down and shift the position back to another idiot.

    You train the next classes of 30 or so cardiac nurses and you save 30 more patients than you could alone. Do it Marcy.

    They promoted a guy at work, but he couldn’t do the job after all. They didn’t offer him his old job back. They fired him.

    I knew this woman who loved to organize, she also went to higher university for credit hours, she was promoted at each facility. She was promoted in a higher facility and still going strong.

    I was going to retire at 62 in May of ‘17. In December of ’15 my company offered a buyout that I was eligible for. It was going to be able to leave on 3/31/16 and the package paid my salary through November of ’17 plus paid for my company health insurance for a year until 4/1/17. Now I liked my job too but I’m not stupid! I will have been gone two years on the 31st of this month!
