Low Census-Cancelled Shifts-Where Are You Located?

Published

Specializes in Community Health, Med-Surg, Home Health.

This is sort of a continuation of the thread that spoke about shifts being cancelled. What I would like to know is WHERE you nurses are located (just the state-or say like "midwest", "northeast", etc...).

I tend to believe that it is due to the new medicaid implementation. Or what Commuter mentioned, the lack of people taking elective surgeries due to fear of losing their positions. etc. I'm just curious to know if this is across the entire US.

Thanks!

Based on the replies from the respondents of this thread so far, the cancellations are occurring in the Northeast (Maryland, Pittsburgh) and the Midwest (Wisconsin, Missouri).

This is interesting. Keep the replies coming. :)

I am in New York. There are less admissions, but the only people cancelled are the agency nurses. I suspect that there may be less hours for me up in med-surg these days.
