Hi, I'm so glad I found this site, I'm new to nursing in the US, just recently moved here from England. I was just beginning to feel settled, been out of orientation a few weeks, but I have a concern. I've been cancelled or put on call several times now (due to low census) and it's seriously affecting my finances. I can't afford to keep having my pay cut as I'm on a tight budget, as you can imagine it's financially tough moving to a new country and setting up home from scratch, and especially because I can't get any credit yet, I learned it takes time to build up credit history. This is a big shock to me, I never knew the hospital could cancel your shifts, and especially at such short notice. Was just wondering, is this normal?
Thanks
