Most Pressing Issues in Nursing Today
I watched girls going back to get BSN. One would do everyone math online, one would do another class and so on. It bothered me.

Mandatory Overtime
Just a question as to what other nurses and management think. How much mandatory call is ok? When working 3-12 hour shifts or possibly 2 for part time people what is a reasonable # of 12 hour call shifts. Most likely they will be worked but if not worked you are still on call for the day to be in within 30 minutes if called.

Mandatory Overtime
Just wanted to get a feel for how mandatory overtime is handled other places. Our schedules are put in, then we are told weeks later how many call days to sign up for. Then even once schedule is started if someone quits, or is out for injury etc, we have to add more call days. Even flip flop to opposite shift. The 12 hour days are exhausting and adding extra is almost unbearable. If we are not needed the day we are on call 98% of the time we remain on call just in case with understanding that if called we have 30 minutes to arrive. Is this the norm?

How does your unit incentivize obtaining your NICU certification (RNC-NIC)?
They don't. We pay for the continuing education. We pay for the maintenance, we do it on our time. We used to get critical care pay, later a yearly bonus instead, then nothing. We are advised to let patients know how much experience we have and if we are certified.
