Are Bribes Required?

I offer at least 3 different educational opportunities a month. I'm lucky if I get one nurse to attend. I've tried early morning, late morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, and evening...when I was a staff nurse I would go to any class that was free whether I was on the clock or not. I've tried feeding them...sending managers to the floor to cover and everything else I can think of. Do any of you have any other ideas? If I make the classes mandatory I have to pay them 3 hours for their time and my budget can't afford it.

    I would go.

    Can you tie them into reviews? Or is that verboten without pay?

    Sue...people like US will always go..smart people who want to get smarter. And I don't think I can put it on their annual review as long as the get the state mandated number of CEUs to keep their license. DPH asks every year to see the list of inservices. They've not asked so far to see the list of attendees.

    Feh.

    Hey, I'm officially management. Changed around a med pass ystdy on orders of the DON and knew there would be hissy fits galore. Foot-stomping, nit-picking, eye-rolling, immediate shooting-down of any suggestions - I went into my cubby, shut the window, and turned of my hearing aid. Heh. Let the kiddies get over their tantrum.

    Gah.

    I do that with the CNAs who grab every chance to learn. I'm trying that again with the nurses. I'll be happy to get half of them back.

    We givethem plenty of time to get the inservice in and then post that they will be removed from the schedule if not completed.

    We have a union....that particular method wouldn't work.

    Our CNA's are union, nurses are not. They still have to learn what is expected when working , so it stands with the union.

    Are they paid for their time? CCM's nurses are not.

    If I have mandatory inservices, I have to pay them for at least 3 hours which,frankly, I think is ridiculous but it's in the contract that if they get called in to work they get paid 3 hours even if they stay one. I don't think coming to an inservice is the same as being 'called in to work' but it seems past practice and not common sense rules.

    Most do it during their shifts. Or get paid straight time ( ed time) for it.
