perdiem and hounded everyday to work

[sistasoul]

Hi all, I am a perdiem nurse and work three shifts a week because this is all I can do because of the stress of the bedside. I am hounded everyday by emails and phone calls asking me to work. I do feel bad that the hospital is short staffed right now but my sanity needs to come first. Has this happened to anyone else and has there been any "repercussions" for not working more than what you signed up for? This is really stressing me out.

thanks, Heather

Gee, those who can't find a job to save their life or the lives of their family would probably love to trade problems with you! Just do as the others suggested, turn off your phone.
