I started a new job last week in a hospice. My job description grows by the minute. I am in charge of admitting all patients and continued care of them, HR, QI, Intake, all on call, all weekend, holiday and night visits, the team conferences, all inservices and orientation and also covering call from a parent agency which is 2 hours away. My boss says I am supposed to pay for all Universal Precautions equipment and they will pay me back later, I also am to go to several conferences, they will pay me for my work day but I am to pay for the two conferences, (over 700) and the UP equipment is 350. Oh yes I also do all the scheduling.......yeah right....................................
I am considering flipping burgers or waiting tables in a nice place......maybe working in a store........I just think nursing stinks sometimes,,,,,I know I am looking at a 60 to 70 hour week easy-of course you know I am salaried.......no overtime, no extra holiday pay and no pay for being on call 24/7 or when I have to work all day then work all night if a patient needs me then turn around and work another 8 hours during the day,,,,,
of course no one told me that when I was interviewing,
