Afraid of calling in

Hello all,

I am a new grad and was recently hired at a local company. I was hired on as a tech so that I can get familiar with the floor, and will be doing my NCLEX next week. Last night, we were overstaffed. I requested to go home so that I can study. However, I also noticed that we will be fully staffed again tonight. I am really wanting to stay home so that I can prepapre for my NCLEX. Since I just started though, I am apprehensive if my NM will think that I am less than a desired employee for asking off tonight again. What would you do?

I will really apprecitae any honest advice.

    You are going to be stuck with these co-workers. Do not tick them off this early in the game by always being the one that wants to go home (even if this won't always be true, you will spend months/years changing their minds about it).

    Go in, plan to work like you are paid to do & secretly hope you get sent home early.

    Good luck with your test.

    Will you be working there as a grad? If so, I would think it is their best interests to grant you some time off, especially if they are overstaffed.

    On the other hand, if they have so many staff, how many times will they call you off when you do pass the NCLEX?

    I wouldn't call in. It would be easier for you to recover from failing the NCLEX (frustrating, but you can take it again) than to recover from making a bad early impression on your boss and coworkers.
