asked to stay late this morning!!!


well it was my second shift at this facility. The feedback has been good. I was working 11-7 last night and the phone started ringing and ringing at about 3 am the regular staff just seemed to not notice. At 0655 I was asked if I could help out. Mind you my agency had not contacted me. I said I was tired but could help them out through breakfast like maybe 0900. The house supervisor said WELL you either work the whole shift or none. I smile and started to exit her office. She stopped me and wanted to know what I was doing and I said " I offered to stay until 0900 and you said that was not possible so I was leaving at the time I was contracted at. She then begged and I said she needed to contact my agency, that we decide on my hours. I then smiled and told her to have a nice day I don't think she will do this again. I was willing even though I had no responsibility to the facility to stay and help out. OH well MY PILLOW FELT REALLY GREAT!!!!!!! THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT I AM GLAD I WORK AGENCY!!!

Speaking of walking, don't suppose she ever though of putting on her sneakers and doing a little running up and down a few halls.

Good for you! Being agency is a nice switch from staff, no mandatory overtime.

Amazing how a little courtesy goes a long way ... or a big red flag of being a $%^&.. sends us running in the opposite direction!

Will they ever learn?

Uh heh... mangement... there IS a nursing shortage.... ask yourselves WHY?!!!

Doesn't it feel great to know we cannot be manipulated and intimidated anymore?

Glad you made her eat a little crow....pizzes me off how these supervisors talk to the workers...those who are 'in the trenches.'

See, THIS is the kind of stuff I like to hear. You're trying to be nice and offer your time, and this wench throws it back in your face and says all or none?! I hope she's still trying to pull her shoe out of her mouth and wipe YOUR nursing shoe print off her forehead.
