Dec 30, '07Quote from Chica_bella813Unfortunately being called off isn't limited to agency nurses. The census has been so low (another Floridian) that regular staff are being called off. I was called off on Christmas Day and worry that I will be called off today, Sunday or tomorrow, New Year's Eve.This is my first time signing up with agency and it is horrific so far! I was told i would work as many or as little shifts as I'd like--well they were not joking about as little. I have only worked 8hrs with them and that is it. The hospitals that they are contracted with the census has been low.
I resigned from my former job which was a good paying job but couldnt deal with the antics and manager that was not to be trusted.My self esteem and worth were much more important to me.
I am now seriously considering traveling nursing--but i want a travel company that provides a car if i go out of state. UGH!! I have never had to hustle like this before. I wonder at times should i have put up with a lying manager that paid well or continue on my search for a travel assignment. I just dont know what to do......:uhoh21:

Dec 30, '07Quote from bigredrn57Amen BigredRN!!! Nothing is worth our self respect PReach it sista!!Hello ladies, I recently resigned from a hospital for the same reasons. NOTHING IS WORTH YOUR SELF RESPECT! I also signed up with an agency. It was not steady. I called the corporate office to see what they had in the area. Then I spoke with another agency. Right after I hung up the phone I received a 3 month contract offer from a local hospital. The point is, do not wait. Do not be passive. People only take advantage of you, if you let them. Be good to yourself.
I agree we can't be passive and we must make our own moves! I am learning the ropes during this transition......
