Should I find another job?

[Mr. Nightingale]

Hey guys! I started a new job in Step down progressive care in Aug 2016. I was given 10 weeks orientation and everything is looking good. However d/t low census I have been put on Standby (called off) to work 15 times and counting. My PTO is all used. Im really not the type of person who whines and work and doesnt do a good job but I jus want to know what makes you stay at a job?

I don't want to be a job hopper either.

i also emailed management about this being called off to work d/t census. And theres no policy for it. They say they have this book where they rotate who gets called off but thats not true at all.

-there is so much expansion and plans to advance their facility but I havent had a manager talk to me how Im doing after i finished my preceptorship.

also they dont stock XL gloves on the unit. Lol.

P.S i work for on of the best hospital

chains in my state

It sounds like there just isn't enough work and being down staffed may always be a regular occurrence. If you feel you're being down staffed unfairly, find your facility's policy and take it to management or HR along with documentation of the days you have been called off. But be aware that this might make you a target and could have a negative impact on your working relationships. I'd definitely be looking for another job at this point.
