NO OVERTIME!! I have a concern about this. our DON has told us we can not work any overtime, that we have to get our work done before our shift ends or pass it on to the next shift. WE have so much work to do, it's vurtually impossible to get it done in 8hr. If we pass it along, it becomes a trickle down. I also wonder about the legal ramifications, eg p.o. orders, MD calls updates and followups not to mention the charting daily and weekly summaries that don't get done. It's always the $$$$, OVER HOURS and budget that the management is concerned about. OUR DON doesn't stick up for us either. We are so short staffed, the nurses do CNA cares esp PM'S, toilet people, pass meal trays and feed +++++. Does anyone have a simular problem, what should we do???
