Do nurse managers work on Memorial Day?

[mell260]

Just wondering if most managers are in on holidays?

[Rose_Queen, BSN, MSN, RN]

As a general rule, no. There should be some sort of list for "admin on call" though. That way, should something happen that requires a higher up's notification, there is a clear person defined who should get the call.

[VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN]

No, I get a three-day weekend just like normal folks. ;-) However, I'm on call just in case the fecal matter collides with the oscillatory ventilation system.....or state surveyors walk in the building!

[chevyv, BSN, RN]

We will see no nurse managers on any holiday.

[Butterfliesnroses]

Yes. I don't get holiday pay. So I will be working. As will my DNS (we have some work to do). As will the administrator.

[buytheshoes11, MSN, RN]

Nope, not where I work. However, she will be on call in case of any kind of emergency.

[madwife2002, BSN, RN]

I will be working too

[Nascar nurse, ASN, RN]

I worked Saturday and will be working tomorrow.

I'm not a manager, but I am part of Admin. No, I will not be working on Memorial Day. I got an email telling me that I was expected to take the day off and that I had to use my PTO to do it.

Love this. As I love using my PDO when the higher ups decide I should, rather than when I would prefer to.

So yes, I have the day off. Sure would prefer to have it off around my actual vacation time in July!
