Hi guys...
looking for some advice here.
So I am a RN and scheduled 3-12 hr shifts per week. This is what I was hired for. Recently, we are down 1 nurse and had an agency nurse coming but didn't show up so now everyone has been working extra shifts to cover. No updates on another agency nurse in the near future. Am I required to cover these shifts or can I refuse???? I only want my 3-12s or 72 hrs a pay period and honestly, my free time outside of the work is worth so much more to me than 1.5x pay. But I don't want my coworkers to take the blunt.
Suggestions or thoughts? How can I approach my manager that I don't want to work overtime anymore??? We don't have a pool staff to pull from and we can't afford anyone being sick, etc.
