Are all facilities inconsiderate to their staff, totally unresponsive to their needs, violate their rights as union members and generally treat them as non-humans. Or are their hospitals that actually make you feel as if you are part of the team and are supportive of you and your career?
I was at work tonight, and at 2100 I get a call from the nursing supervisor, to tell me as if I had not informed three different people in staffing/personnel, that I am not on the schedule after tonight. I told her I knew that and that I had apprised the appropriate people who chose to do nothing about it. She said "not to be bi*&chy but that is your concern not mine" then proceeded to tell me that even though I had already worked six days straight that I would also have to work tomorrow night. I informed her that my family had planned to take me out to dinner to celebrate passing boards, and she said you can do it Monday, I will schedule you for a day off then. I asked if I would receive overtime and ofcourse the answer was a resounding NO, afterall Sunday is the start of the week. And like I told her, you can't have it both ways, make me work Sunday because you want this to be my scheduled week END but then deny me overtime pay because it is the start of the new week. I got no where, as usual. I can not get a schedule out of these people to save my life, but I did receive 3 memos informing me that I forfeited my sign on bonus when I chose to go to another floor before my 366 day probation ended! Then I asked her why, with the fact that I had to contact her with a huge med error that no one had caught for 2 days, that she is insanely worried that I work tomorrow. I swear, you can make as many med errors as you want, be cavalier about assessments, but always work an entire weekEND no matter how many days before it you may have worked. I have an interview at another facility next Monday, but I am tempted to put in my notice now.
