Hello my Fellow Nurses!!

I have been a nurse for over 11 yrs w/experience in Medsurg,Er,Geriatrics,charge Nurse,manager,home health and Now Hospice RNCM.

Recently the company I truly was happy with merged with another company and I was switched to a different office due to my area I was in. Major changes and expectations,felt like I was learning a new job all over again but with no orientation and learning as you go. High stress and frustrations. Change from salary to hourly with last 3 pays incorrect (short hrs) due to someone else now putting in my time. We are not allowed to enter our own time. Went from alot of Autonomy to micromanagement!! Recently I emailed my direct Mgr and ED in reply to an email about working on call that I will not be volunteering due to being paid $2.00/hr if I am on call and not needed but need to be available the whole shift. If I get called to see a pt I will get paid time I worked,if not I receive the $2.00/hr for the shift. In email I told them in my opinion that was an insult to my profession. I was told I was out of line making that statement. Next recently on my day off a pt of mine had b/l pleural drains the nurse who went to see her was not trained/no experience doing this process and I sympathized with her and pt was having distress so I went and saw her as what was best for the pt and was not a big deal to me and didn't mind doing it. This was turned into a major issues instead of being thanked for going above and beyond due to a statement as reply to email from my ED that I simply stated I went to see the pt on my day off due to nurse not being comfortable doing the procedure. I was reprimanded for making such statement. Also I have been told by my ED she will not give me anymor ed pts until I trust her and the company and in with both feet amon other statements that have made me uncomfortable. I have a great reputation in my field and area I work. No write ups and i don't call out. Never had this problem with any job. Need help is this harrassement???

Doesn't sound like harassment - according to classic definition - because of the changes you've described in the organization. They can claim that your job role has changed & you are not adapting well to the change. This is also a traditional way to 'encourage' staff to voluntarily terminate.

In my neck of the woods, acute care experienced CMs, especially those with CCM, are very marketable & have many employment options. I haven't come across any CMs in acute care that are not salaried... maybe it's different in Hospice?

I think you already know what you need to do. Wishing you the best of luck on your job hunt.
