Looks my request for Christmas vacation was granted!! Our hospital policy was either to work December 24th 25th or December 31st January 1st. I have priority in scheduling over my coworkers so I choose to work New Years. Maybe, I'll call out then. Ha! Love the responses. I'll post again when I leave this place on my own will and find another hospital to work at.

it is relevant when people with reading comprehension issues bash me about my work ethnics, morale, and all that other BS. it's not my fault if people are unhappy about their own life circumstances. like always, allnurses never fails to find an angle on somebody. if you see my original post i had a simple question: anyway, anybody ever call in on a major holiday like thanksgiving, christmas, new years, etc.. ? did they reprimand you? what happened? thanks to those who posted about rotating holidays, institution policies, etc... as i thought it was seniority based. i have questions to ask my HR department and union.

ironically, i requested to work last year... but i was denied ANY holiday because certain people didn't have plans and wanted the additional holiday pay. i was bumped off thanksgiving, Christmas, and new years, because i was newer. i did not work ANY of those days. now those nurses have jumped ship. how fair is that? i play secretary when we're short staffed, i answer OTHER nurses call lights, i am the only person who assists the CNA/MA because i do not believe i am beyond bed baths and toileting, i am the first nurse in a room when there is a code to offer assistance... let's leave the comments about my work ethics and character out of this. my director and coworkers love when i am on the floor because it lessens EVERYBODYS workload. there's a reason i scored 3/3 on my annual review. anything listed "willingness to assist others" , "teamwork" , etc... i was 100% on. i was told we cannot request holidays off. but i still need to figure out what my punishment will be because i am still going to call off. i need these days. sorry.

i'll speak with my union rep. when i get back in there. the only thing i read about being reprimanded was consecutive call offs, not specific to holidays. thanks.

i have already went through the channels and my Christmas vacation request was rejected. oddly enough, i wanted to work Christmas last year, but they denied me. the turnover rate is high i am #5 on the seniority list with only 1 year of experience. so you have an idea of the environment i am in. not sure why i was denied, either. i don't plan on working at this facility in the near future so it doesn't bother me if i am terminated. anyway, anybody ever call in on a major holiday like thanksgiving, christmas, new years, etc.. ? did they reprimand you? what happened?
