I don't think my DON likes me very well

Specialties Geriatric

For those of you who are regulars here, you may have remembered me asking about switching weekends not too long ago. Well, I told the nurse who was wanting to switch, that I would. I usually work every other Fri, Sat. Sun. Well when I switched weekends, I lost my Friday babysitter. I found this out just this past weekend and I've frantically called around, trying to find anyone, well not anyone, someone with experience, even if it is a teenager from the local high school. Alas, school is not out yet around here, so I came away empty-handed. I've left some messages and emailed people I knew who either knew some teens, had some teens that might want a bit of pocket money, or the actual teen themselves. I also put it out on Facebook that I was looking for someone. Not a one has answered my plea for help. So I called work today and got the DON that nearly fired me and I had to tell her that I couldn't work this Friday. I did tell her why, but she was really "cold" with me and hung up on me without saying good-bye. I feel really bad, but what can I do? Take my 21 month old to work with me??? Thanks for letting me vent....ARGH!

Blessings, M.

Glad to hear things seem to be turning out ok for you. I guess everybody is entitled to have a bad day here and there. Good luck with getting this resolved for the long term.

glad this worked out, see the DON isn;t such an ogre, you just caught her in a bad moment, - she must be human like the rest of us!

Great for you. Good luck finding a sitter. Hope your weekend is smoothe. Blessings.
