I need some advice, yall, before I get another ulcer to go along with my Barrett's esophagus (which is what my repeat scan showed, for those who remember. If anyone else has that, I'd sure appreciate some tips, such as, should I fear for my life (no medical advice, I'm already wearing out my NP's phone)).
I have been working for my company for a year. From previous posts, y'all know that it has had its moments. Well, now it has come to a head. The plant is closing, yet we are doing new hire physicals. We're cutting shifts, yet they hire 2 new nurses. Makes about as much sense as a milk bucket under a bull.
The way the schedules are done is usually this: full timers are placed first, then PRN's are called to fill in. I never got a call for September, and got canceled for my last 2 shifts because the full time gal I was covering for decided to come back and, guess who got the shaft?
The September schedule came over the fax, and I had no days for the WHOLE MONTH. So, I called my company and asked about it.
"Oh, yeah, there were no openings."
Another older PRN-er and the new girl have the monopoly on days, it seems, which gripes me, since I think it should be an even split. I hate to pull what little rank I have, but they never made that allowance for me when I hired in.
My boss in MI said that the supervisor had said that she was going to call and let her know if she could use me on a project, and that she would let me know next week.
I spoke with my supervisor today, and she was really surprised to hear about that conversation, since apparently she was not present for it. She also had no idea that I had no days.
We had a major accident at work yesterday when this blew up, guy fell and fractured his C2, I was the responder, and everyone was so nice to tell me how well I did. Nice way to treat an employee that does a good job, huh?
Should I just quit? I'm looking for other work, this is my only job, and I need money. I'm so mad I could spit fire right now. Thanks for reading.
