Tell her you'll consider it if she doubles your salary. After all, she's manipulating the situation to use you as though you were a nurse from the prn float pool who are generally paid better for offering increased flexibility.
Increased competency needs to be rewarded by increased salary, right???

Last month I was informed I would be floating 3 to 4 times a week to two other floors,at least I was given advance notice.
I asked the DON why Im being floated off my regular floor and not the other regular nurse,I also asked why the other regular nurse and I are not taking turns floating. She said that I was competent enough to float,which really surprised me, and the other nurse wasnt.
Is this a legitamite reason,or is the DON manipulating me to shut me up?
I also wanted to ask her,but I didnt cause I didnt want to cause her trouble cause I like her,why ALL nurses arent being floated.Should I ask her this question? Should I go to my union? Or is this simply managements perogative?
