RNOrtho

I’m a new RN and have been working on my unit for about 5 months now. I am officially off orientation and on my own. I currently work nights and as of right now we only have about 9 nurses working the night shift. The past few weeks my unit has called me on 3 different occasions to see if I could pick up or switch one of my days because they need someone on that particular night. The one issue is they usually don’t call until about 2-3 hours before the shift would even start. So far I haven’t agreed to come in. Mainly because I slept a normal sleeping schedule that day and have been awake for 8 or more hours already that day. Calling me 2-3 hours before a 12 hour night shift doesn’t really give me much time to get a nap in to feel awake for the shift. Especially considering I’ve been up all day already. Every time I hang up the phone after saying “No” I feel so guilty. I feel like I shouldn’t feel that way but I just do. Should I feel guilty about this?
