I work 3 12 hour night shifts a week. Each time our schedule for the month comes out, I always xerox off a copy for myself and then I note on my calender the nights that I'm to work. And then when the charge nurses makes up the assignments for the next shift, they go by the schedule in a binder which is a different format than the schedules we get, but everything should be the same. Just that the binder format has more room to pencil in changes like if someone calls in sick or if a switch had been made and approved between two staff members.
Anyways for this week according to the schedule I xeroxed copied, I was to work Monday (which I already did), tonight, and tomorrow night. However last night I received a call saying I was scheduled to work. I even double and triple checked my schedule and it clearly showed that I was off last night, and I know I did not make a switch with any one. But according to the schedule in the binder, I was scheduled to be on. I even had the charge nurse look for the schedule that I xerox copied but it had already been taken down. I was asked if I could go to work anyways but I really could not because I was completely not prepared. No food to bring with me, no clean scrubs, etc. So now I guess I'm a no show. I guess whoever made the schedule made a mistake with mine *rolls eyes*.
Something similar also happened a few years ago. I had my schedule xerox copied and noted on my calender. Everything mapped out. And then one night when I thought I was off, I received a call saying I was supposed to be at work, which surprised me. What apparently happened though was that someone had made a switch in my schedule without letting me know! :angryfire. That time though I was lucky that I already had a lunch packed in the fridge and clean scrubs, so I was able to make it to work. This time though, I wasn't so lucky. Has anything like this happened to any of you? Any advice?
I've had this scam played on me , where are you ?, your scheduled ! .No I'm not , got copy of schedule ,Bye !.
If you are called when you are off ,then caled ,why are you rushing in to work , don't we have lives outside of work , and as to the poster ,who ran a red light , good heavens above you risked your own life and that of others , because somebody , made an error with the schedule . Sorry but I suspect , many of these " schedule errors "are attempts to fill holes in the schedule .
This morning I spoke with my nurse manager and everything is cool. She said that mistakes happen and to not even worry about it. :) She said she has spoken with the people who makes the schedule to make a note for everyone to check the master schedule BEFORE checking the schedule we xerox copy from.
