Thanks!

Hi all, I'll be taking my first ever ACLS and PALS course ever early January. I've read both books and I'm going through both books again and taking notes. I'm comfortable with EKGs (heat blocks are always a pain! Haha) I'm feeling overwhelmed about memorizing everything and taking the test. Just looking for guidance on what to focus on, what the test is like, etc. Thanks so much for your help

I recently had my yearly evaluation. I had a really good review. My manager, however, said I need to improve my picking up extra shifts (she included this on my official report to HR) I understand we all have to pitch in to help. I do as needed. However, my mom has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing chemo. My (serious) boyfriend’s dad is also in hospice care. My manager is aware of all this. I have not called in once this year - I even come in early every time they ask. In addition, my co workers have gone behind my back in the past and complained to my manager I wasn’t picking up as much (my brother had a Covid wedding) - I told my manager about the wedding and she just told me to make sure my coworkers know that I had the wedding(which they did). They say I’m “young and healthy and live close so it’s easy to pick it up” I just feel almost targeted and extra pressure now to pick up despite my crazy life right now, I’m already full time. I was wondering if a manager can include how much I’m able to pick up on an evaluation like that to HR? Like I said, it makes me feel targeted I could be in the wrong here, just wondering input. Thanks ☺️

Thank you!

@JadedCPN thank you! Sometimes it seems like I’m given more work than my co workers. I looked at the daily schedule yesterday and I was 323% full... I felt like a chicken with its head cut off

Hi all! Just wondering what you guys think of this situation I work at a clinic within a hospital. Usually 8-5pm. Took this job for better work life balance and to travel to do races (I do obstacle course racing and ultra running) - I was working 1900-0700 previously on med surg for 3 years I feel enormous pressure to pick up all the time. One time my manager took me into her office to talk because she said my Co-workers said to her I wasn’t being a team player by picking up extra (She even brought up the fact I live close and I should be able to pick up more). I explained to her I couldn’t pick up due to the fact my brother was getting married and we/my family were doing all the planning.. she brought this to my attention the actual week of my brother’s wedding. I was just told to explain to my cow workers the situation (they were more than a aware of it) I’m usually easy going and don’t get mad, but that irked me. I have been coming in early at least 2-3x week whenever I’m working without making a scene or anything (some of my co workers make a scene about coming in early). lastly, I had a patient mention to me he heard my co workers making fun of me. I didn’t ask for details but said they were talking about someone else. just wondering what your thoughts are. This passive aggressiveness and feeling pressure has been taking a toll on me mentally. Thank you for reading!
