Greetings, All
I'm currently working with a traveler who stipulated in contract that she will not work Fridays. This makes our Fridays awful as she is a specialized nurse and there is no replacement for her from within the facility. She's talking about renewing her contract but making arrangements for even more time off. I know that our travelers will often schedule a vacation during the contract period, but haven't had one before who refused to work a certain day of the week, every week.
Is this common practice? The Director who signed her contract was interim and had no real clue as to the needs of our unit. I'm pretty sure that the new Director will not renew her under the circumstances. Kind of sad: she's competent and likeable. This was her first traveling assignment. Is she being too picky or are we expecting too much?
