Hi all, I would like to know if any of you have experienced this and what you did about it. I am a transport nurse, and we just got a new coordinator, she is 31 (6years as a nurse) got her Masters. We all just got our evals done, and mine was totally trashed, I don't belong on enough committies ( only one) and I come to a lot of our meetings there are 3 a month, plus I work 3 (12 hour) shifts plus a 16 hour call shift per week. I present case reviews and I was told I am very good with parents referring facilitys and Dr.s and our little pts. So no raise they won't even submit my eval to human resources for 3 mos. Meanwhile another nurse works only 2 days a week takes no call sits in our office and does her homework and does not come to any meetings and belongs to no commities. She is 28 going to school for her PNP. I am 52 and have 30 years NICU experience, 19 of that as a NNP. She got 3 1/2% (4 is the highest) I was told we are not allowed to discuss our evals with anyone else, and chewed out for talking to another nurse about her eval and mine. I feel discriminated against and would like to know what I can do. Thank you so much!

Right wrong or indifferent, all employers know that employees DO discuss their performance reviews and compensation. Your employer should have a grievance procedure that you should become familiar with, and then start that process. What should occur is this:
They will have to prove that you participate in less committees than ANYONE else, for example.

One thought is this: are you assuming the part timer younger employee was making the same as you to begin with? I doubt it. You may be at the top of the range of pay due to your vast experience. That, I personally believe is unfair. If you warrant the top of the range and continue to perform year after year, you should continue to get incremental raises.
