Question about canceling an extended contract - pls answer with experience

i had decided to extend a contract. i happily signed it. then the hospital decided to make changes such as switch from night shift to day shift and have me float every unit as needed any time. i start this extension in a few weeks.

my contract did not specify if i worked day or night or how stable my schedule would be. i am unhappy with the scheduling changes. there is nothing in my contract about canceling. could i still cancel the contract? what would be the consequences? has anyone had a similar experience?

it's for med-surg and med-surg tele. i had spoken with the scheduling manager, she said she has no other options for me. she works on day shift only, i have never really spent much time with her. during the short time i interacted with her, i noticed a flat personality, a monotone voice of no concern for me, when i smile she frowns, no eye contact, etc. generally the administrative staff are not very friendly.

i am working on reaching my agency for this (they are closed for the weekend and holidays!). i left a few emails so far.

Hmmm. In a my previous life I was in management. Any changes such as you list would be considered a change in expectations for the contract staff on the part of the hospital and would leave them open to having the contract canceled. Was there a particular unit you were working on? Do you have any sort of relationship with that unit manager? Maybe you could speak with him/her about the changes? Also, have you spoken with your agency about this? They would have experience in this area re: canceling of a contract and will know if you have an easy out or not.

Good luck!
