Anyone else have a worthless PRN list? I'm talking about SHORT handed. Two NA's for 36 patients, over half being total care or 2x assist, half dozen feeders, and can't get one of the 30+ people on the damn list to show up? Always fun having to ask the RN and CMA "hey, can you stop doing your job and help us with dinner please?" ARGH!!! Thank god for the few (read:3) great coworkers I have.
I understand people get sick and can't show up. What I can't understand is 30+ people saying "i'll work when you need help" and the few that actually answered their phones said they didnt want to. Even got the verbal shrug and 'suck it up' from the staffing coordinator over the phone when we made that last ditch call.
Anyone else have this problem with a worthless PRN list?
