  1. DON after hours expectation

    If that is the expectation there is no way with small children, I'll have to pass. Thank you for sharing your experience!
  2. DON after hours expectation

    I will have to look up the state law where I live but assume it would be basically the same deal. That is good advice about the algorithm, thank you. I really don't mind phone calls for simple things but being called into work for lost keys would g...
  3. DON after hours expectation

    I'm with you, if the expectation is I can be called in 24/7 I will turn it down. My quality of life comes first especially with a family. I'm willing to work hard but I need to work hard at home with my family as well not just at work. There needs to...
  4. DON after hours expectation

    You're right! I felt those 1a calls were unreasonable and I will make my expectations for being called very clear. I have a family and a life which I think needs to be respected. Of course I would be there if the staff was in dire straights but I don...
  5. DON after hours expectation

    Thank you! I feel the same and expect the job to have the same mentality about after hour call, I just wasn't sure if I was being unreasonable expecting not to be called unless absolutely necessary. I'm glad to know being called consistently at all h...

  9. DON after hours expectation

    I agree, I would not take calls at 1a for vacation time that's insane it's even happening, but I just don't know what to expect in terms of being called during off hours. I would for sure implement a charge nurse situation who would be competent to h...
  10. DON after hours expectation

    Hello, I recently interviewed for a DON position and liked the facility and position but am concerned about after hour responsibilities. I have a family and an infant, I would not be able to be called in the middle of the night. I am also typically n...
  11. Can I ask how you prepared for the OA? I have taken the pre-assessment twice and failed both times. I am running out of time to complete this class and my OA is scheduled for tomorrow. Since I haven't successfully passed the pre-assessment I am reall...

    I am trying to send them information on my true character as a nurse with my attorney's help. I hope they will reconsider and simply issue me a warning provided I agree to take some educational classes. I appriciate your input and hope this issue c...

  14. Reprimand

    I am not sure how the hospital is setting me up. I was the one who, according to IDPR, who should have known to delegate the accuchecks to the PCT even though the night nurse told me she delegated it to the night PCT and from what I was taught, that...
