Tired of nurses threatening to quit!!!

[bradyc]

I don't know how it is where everyone else works, but where I work we have an RN who is ALWAYS-- almost on a DAILY basis, whining to EVERYone about going to find another job!! The reason being, she wants full-time status (God forbid we have to work w/her full-time!!) She has made it VERY clear that the first nurse that quits/gets fired- will become HER position!! Does management know? YES! & they keep giving her busywork to do & allowing her to bleed the time clock!! I am not an RN, but I have to work with her a lot & I for one am TIRED of hearing her WHINE!! How do I deal w/a person like this w/out running to the boss, who has enough on her mind?! We are all wishing she WOULD quit!!

I once quit a full time job to take one I was told would be full time once I finished orientation. The hours never materialized.

I'm sure my coworkers thought I complained a lot. I did stick it our for a while hoping they would honor our agreement but I did look for another job.

Maybe she's in the same boat- has been promised something they aren't coming through with. Maybe every day she comes to work and gets slapped in the face with the fact she still hasn't been bumped to full time.

I did eventually I quit. I filed an unemployment claim against the employer and won benefits equal to my having worked full time because they didn't keep their end of the deal. Unemployment paid more than I was getting for hours.
