Our unit is having a huge problem with sick calls. We have a few select employee's that are calling in sick on average once or twice a week. One even calls in to find out if it is busy and if it is she says that she is sick. We have been trying to come up with a better sick-call policy. The only policy that we currently have is that you must call in to the charge nurse and the dept manager, but if the manager is not in, they can just leave a message on voice mail.
So, any ideas??? Thanks!!!!!!
