Bad day at Work

Ok.. this is gonna be a major whine fest, so don't read if you don't want to hear a bunch of whining :)

Today I worked a PD (extra shift) in which I get paid when I leave, it is also at $35/hr.. This was money I was gonna use to buy some new clothes, scrapbooking stuff etc... On the PD I pretty much say if I want to stay on my floor (5w) only or if I will go where needed.. I only want to work MY floor... I get to work everything is good, I have 5patients, so not too bad... Well about 10am they call and say we are overstaffed and they want me to go finish my PD on 4C, I said well I don't want too.. She said they were really short handed, and I knew if I didn't go, I would have to wait for a partial check to be cut... So I said sure I will go... I get over there and there is 1 RN and 2 LPNs, I take one of the LPNs place (keep in mind I am a RN)... They had it split where the LPNs each had 8 and the RN did IV stuff and followed on them, she had 3 that she did everything for... I get assigned 9 patients!!!! The other RN only had 3, plus she had a LPN doing all her meds, so I had to do all my stuff, while she sat around... I make it through the day thinking WOW I get to take home $300 dollars today.. I go to pick up my check and they didn't have it!!! I want to cry, I want to kill someone, I want to quit.. I'm so upset right now.. I could have left this morning at 10, if I knew I didn't hvae a check... They said it would be "sometime" this week.. You know, I will have that check in my hand by noon or I will not do anymore extra shifts for them...

You don't treat your employees like crap and expect them to just take it...

Ok... Sorry about that :)
