Quitting a job in Michigan-eligible for unemployment???i am a nurse at a nursing home with 55 patients?

we are ALWAYS short staffed and frequently have little to NO supplies (e.g.) some of our patients are incontinent of urine and bowel and need to wear attends or rather adult diapers, we have a 400+lb. patient who requires XLG attends but for the last 2 weeks we had none of that size and they have been taping togethet 2 medium's to put on! that is just one example!! if i quit considering the situation- would i be eligible for unemployment?? i am a Michigan resident.

I have no idea what michigan law says, but do you really think that your entitled to unemployment cause your job is hard? I work in a restuarant, it gets hot in the kitchen sometimes, do you think I am entitled to quit, sit on my *** at home in the airconditioning and collect unemployment?

If the conditions are not ideal, you need to address the issues with managment. Perhaps you should start looking for another job at another home. If you are ALWAYS short staffed I imagine other homes are as well.

What unemployment would say is "did you report these problems to management for investigation? If no response did you report these issues to the medical board?" If you do not go through the channels and just quit then they will most likely deny your request for unemployment benefits. (For quitting a job without having another one.)

Why would you need unemployment. Nurses are in very high demand. You should be able to get a new job immediately.

Once you get that new job, you should be responsible enough the call the health department to report the deplorable conditions at that nursing home. For that fact, you call yourself a "professional." Act like one and tell management that if the situation is not corrected that day, you will call the health department. There are whistle blower laws to protect you.

In Michigan you are not eligible for unemployment if you voluntarily quit your position.

Beyond that if the situation is as bad as you say it needs to be reported.
