so ready to quit

[fairyluv]

I am so ready to quit. I hate the lies that they tell you. Oh yeah we will give you this day and that day off, you can stay on your reg hall. blah blah blah. Our schedule is now weekly sun thru thur. the schedule did not come out til 9pm thursday night. I check the schedule and I don't have a day off til tuesday which puts me at 8 days with no day off. I am getting 1 day off a week, and they still call me on that 1 day off and want me to come in. We don't have enough nurses to cover the shift. they hired one nurse for 3-11 and one nurse for 11-7, the 11-7 nurse quit after one day, the 3-11 nurse who just got off orientation has an interview at the hosp tomorrow and wasnt shy about telling everyone that if she gets the job she is outta there. we have 5 regular lpn's for my shift. which is 3-11. and we need 5 LPN's a night. 3 lpn's in LTC and 2 lpns in rehab. Well, 2 of those LPN's are out on sick leave and the other LPN's spouse has been sick (recently dx with cancer). So there is 3 that are out. And staffing nurse has been scheduling people doubles and different shifts without telling us. then they wonder why people are quiting and no one wants to work there. DUH !!!! You treat your nurses like crap and they won't stay and will discourager there nurse friends from applying cause they don't want to subject there worst enemy to this stupidness. I really want to call in tonight, just cause I really need a day off and I am so burnt out. But I have already been written up for having a call in...(3 call in's and you get wrote up). I see my kids for 1 hour a day and that's in the mornings when I am getting them up for school. I don't get home til 1 sometimes 2 in the morning, cause i am having to stay late just to get caught up on my charting. sometimes I see my dh if he stays up, and our bedroom activities is almost non existent b/c I'm to damn tired and frustrated to even want to do anything, so dh gets frustrated and upset. But to top it all off...HE BOUGHT A MOTORCYCLE !!! So now I have no choice but to stay at this job cause now he has 200/mo payments. THIS SUCKS !!!

Just needed to vent. thx

OP-any update on your situation?

It's getting a little better. Of course I'm working 6 days a week. some 8 days straght. They did finally hire a new nurse, but I'm not sure how long she is gonna last, she's already talking about quitting. I have been looking for another job, but right now, since my kids are getting out school for the summer, i don't really want to do daycare and since i work 3-11 and hubby works 7-3 it works out better that way. And i'm not really paying for his motorcycle. cause he makes about $5 nore than I do. It just annoys me that he got one cause he thinks with the money i make we have enough left over after bills to have a little extra. I haven't even gotten to spend my OT yet. which is what I am gonna do today. I'm gonna go shopping before work. : )
