    I would not be with someone who wanted radically different things in life than I do. Simple as that. But you can still use his "debt snowball" to pay off your own debts, with your own

    She sounds like my kind of person! We've been preaching Dave Ramsey to our kids since we discovered him 10 years ago. My 21-year-old son took it to heart, and now has about $20,000 already in an IRA,...

    Notified of call before being on call

    klone replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, there should be no expectation that they answer their phone at 0500. There should be an expectation that we will leave a message at 0500, letting you know we need you to arrive at 0700, and that...

    Why does the hospital have concerns about you? Are you meeting with your manager, or HR? To ask for a meeting and not tell you why suggests that they're planning on firing

    klone replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe the OP has answered the question as to whether the house supervisor (or whoever called her at 0500) left a voicemail. Also, I'm curious what is the hospital's policy on response

    I’m glad to hear you’re less upset now. I find the past interpretation of “on call” interesting, because I’ve worked in many places and Ive NEVER seen it work that way. How does that work,...

    Yes, you mentioned that in the OP. Writing you up seems like overkill. On the other hand, if you've been a nurse for 14 years, I would think that surely you would understand that being on call at 0700...
