Is anyones facility so short staffed that they feel guilty calling in sick?
I come in when I am scheduled...I will not subject my pt's to my communicable illnesses...I do this because I DO care...I come in OT if I want to or need the money....if i burn myself out i will not be able to care for my patients effectively....my facility is short ...they always will be short because they treat their staff like uneducated children, instead of capable skilled adults who are not only quite proficient at taking care of them selves but others as well...so of course they will attract uneducated unskilled workers who have no work ethics to speak of even when they decide to come in....
