We got the OT ban announcement last week, followed by the "part timers should pick up shifts before OT is permitted" (well, duh, that's in the contracts, can't help it if the staffing office failed to follow the rules), followed by the those on OT will be floated off to units within their services that are short.
How about the wonderful pens for nursing week?
How is AHS affecting your work day?
What pens? We got squat, nada, here in Calgary! :-) Tell a lie, they emailed a letter to all the nurses saying how wonderful we were & how much we were appreciated! HAH!!!
ALL the RN job postings disappeared,
OVERNIGHT! Nothing has been posted since 20th May RN wise.NOTHING!!! normally there's at least 4-6 per day!! There were over 100 RN jobs listed before May 20th, now there are 15 (most of which are casual lines!) No way were all those posts filled - most hadn't even reached their closure dates!
Still, as ever we keep on going, it'll blow over eventually, then they'll be more than desperate! I just hope it doesn't affect the PNP that has just been submitted for me by my hospital.
