   Basically they get a call from staffing saying they are cancelled, they refuse to be cancelled and come to work anyways. They cannot take patients, however can do vitals, accuchecks, transport, etc. The hospital says the census is too low for another nurse, but union doesn't let them get cancelled. Not sure how it works here, but at my old hospital you would request to float based on needs or use your PTO and enjoy your day off. Trying to stay neutral with this post haha.

   This is the travel nurse forum. Perhaps a student nurse forum could better assist with educational decisions.

   RNFiona, did your friend detail how travelers were not treated well? Was it scheduling or assignment load or something else? Thanks.
