cheryl056 how is your assignment going?

cheryl056 · Apr 21, 2013

Well, I'm not sure! I had orientation and worked the first week. Then I've been called off for 2 days the next. Only worked one day last week. And their computer charting system was down and had to use the paper charting that a lot of them didn't know either. The staff is great and very helpful. And the patients has been great. They all seem very interested is me being a traveler. LOL.

Well I'm glad the staff is nice! I think I'd rather have a nice staff and some equipment problems than the opposite...but that's just me! :)

Do they not offer guaranteed hours? So if you get called off, atleast you are guaranteed a certain amount of hours/pay.

I am guaranteed 36 hours. But the hospital is allowed to call me off 2 times with out pa for the whole contract. So that has been done. Now if I'm called off it paid. But that week with one day pay was painful.

Really? That sucks! Good to know so when I start in a few months, I'll make sure my the hospital can't cancel me without pay! That's not right!
