Not sure about cancelling you. It PLEASE think about these money opportunities. Here in Chicago they want you to work 12 hour shifts for 21 straight days then only 2 days off after that only to do it again for 3 months total. ALSO it’s a 15:1 rati...
We have a union but they’re pretty useless. I just can’t wrap my head around this.... She drug tests me for reasonable suspicion. AND doesn’t test me for the very drug she’s saying I diverted! Then allows me to return to work that day?? but I’m s...
I have never wanted to quit nursing in my 24yr ER career until now. (Brief history before I start). My interim manager was my coworker and for what ever reason she never liked me. I’ve NEVER been written up in my life. I had brought harassment cha...

We all know that can't. But they did. AND they made me change it 3 times! They would approve each one. Then 2-3 months later say no it's wrong redo it. They tried to stop me from working because the 2ND FMLA said my dad needed continuous care and...

Your HR are lazy!! If we can do it here in Chicago ( JESSE BROWN AND HINES) yours can do it too! They just choose not too! There is no reason why they cannot model our 72/80 along with payroll. We all use the same systems

Hi there! We have the 72/80 work schedule here in Chicago. But it seems our leadership is making us do an extra 8 hour shift to make it an 80 hour pay period instead of just 6-12 hr shifts. Per the VA handbook 5011 3 it states that 6-12 hour shif...

after 15yrs in the ER I have no problem telling patients that they're behavior is not acceptable and wont be tolerated. We will do what we can to help them but they need to behave otherwise they can go somewhere else. If they are saying those thing...
