Re: Changed my schedule 3 days before I work it...
I would be a bit flexible in this instance. It sounds like it was a slightly disorganized month, when a bunch of us came off orientation there was a little bit of moving around and getting switched. It will likely improve in the future. Your first few weeks off do kinda move around a bit.
Work the Saturday, they hired you because they need you, not necessarily on the days your preceptor works. Also, there should be a charge nurse and resource available to help answer questions. That's what they are there for.
Please keep in mind you have a job! Not everyone does right now, and while a 5 day weekend would have been nice, you may be able to pull it off in the next month.
Just take it a day at a time, nursing does get better.
