Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Wow, Debra, that sounds awesome...let us know!! /Mi a new job-- for state with benefits I have had a job offer. I am considering taking it. It would be for what they call the State School. It is a large campus home for the mentally challenged. Some other nurses I know wanted me to apply for an open postion. It comes with full benefits with Blue Cross/Blue Shield -- no premiums out of pocket to cover me. Tons of paid time off. Retirement that is vested after 10 years. And a raise to boot from what I make now. I told them NO " on call " . The supervisor told me the position I apply for does not require me to take " call " . So good. I hate to leave where I am but there is no future in it. Just thought I would share my thoughts. love and hugs, Debra V. __________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Congradulations Debra! That state job sounds like a good one so hope you accept their offer. We have BlueCross/BlueShield also with no out of pocket premiums either. But I do have to pay some of my lab work though. Let us know if you accept that great sounding job. soft hugs, Debbie L > > I have had a job offer. I am considering taking it. It would be for what they call the State School.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Debra, it sounds like a dream job. I would go for it, if I were you. You need every bit of help and perks that you can get. I'm very happy for you. Love you, Debi/CA **************Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Posted April 23, 2008 Great news! Especially with you not having out-of-pocket premiums. I'd hate to think where we'd be if we didn't have such good insurance now. Before, my co-pays alone were running into the thousands each year. Now I don't have a co-pay. ~Earthdog~ Quote
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Posted April 24, 2008 Debra, that is wonderful! I know that the insurance that we have with the Blues has been great -- strange, though since my husband is a state employee, our benefits can change from year to year depending on what the union he is a member of! Seems that presently we do not have a CO-PAY for any dental work (not that that is going to get me go back! --- I got tried of listening to them tell me how to brush! and the 4 times a year for a cleaning!) > > I have had a job offer.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Posted April 25, 2008 Debra - This sounds like a prayer answered! Of course, I do not know how the actual work load would compare to what you do now. But those benefits are an answer to prayer. Go for it! Jeanne in WI I have had a job offer. I am considering taking it. It would be for what they call the State School.
