job security

I work at a community hospital and our census has been low. The policy is that staffing will call to see if you would like to be cancelled and has mandated some employees to stay home; so far no layoffs. I did read that Cambridge Health Alliance is laying off employees and I have also heard that some of the Boston hospitals have hiring freezes.

What is the climate like at your facility and are you getting nervous that you may be out of a job?

I just wrote about something similar on the general discussion boards. Our hospital talked to us about voluntarily cutting back FTE's be it through retirement or finding a new job to avoid a RIF. Things are so disorganized. There is cutting back on staff, sending nurses home, sending nurses to other units and then calling them back, etc... It is a very stressful time right now for everyone. I know they have even violated union regs with all this mess going on.

I also posted a while ago on the general discusion board but I wanted to see how things were at home. My hospital is non-union, so we have no leverage. I panic everytime my phone rings that I'll be cancelled..no fun:uhoh21:

It is an awful feeling. I hope we see change soon for all our sakes. I was thinking of doing agency and going as far as 45 minutes away to pick up extra work (if there is any) :(
