Re: Any one getting down sized yet?
Nurses are not laid off, but overtime is forbidden,extra shift bonus is gone, our on call pay was done away with (now we have flex hours where we are not needed, and they have to re-evaluate staffing every couple of hours. You could be scheduled 7p-7a, "flexed" 7-11p, work 11-3am then sent home again)
There is not much in the way of loyalty to any of the nurses who are the backbone of the hospital.Nobody can seem to find a copy of "flex hours" as a policy.
Our managers just can't figure out why nobody wants to get involved and be on committees, or do the extra things we used to do to make our unit a great place to work, nor can they figure out why everyone has taken a pool job just to make ends meet. It is so sad to work there anymore.
