I can't keep staff. Why do I keep trying? I work the floor with them when they are swamped. I practically let them make their own schedules. I encourage and support professional development. Yet nothing I do keeps them here. This is not worth it!

Specializes in Med/Surg, ICU, Cardiac ICU.

Now I just need to know how I can work 24/7 seeing as that seems to be what is expected of me. Just had another charge nurse quit. Will soon have to be making baby nurses charge or I will have to be out there 24/7. Am going on 4 12 hr shifts already and it's only Wednesday.

AND I have to move out of the old apt sometime before friday with people who only work 9 - 5!!!:(
