I've been a nurse for a year on a busy intermediate care/tele floor. I love it, bue to exhaustion and some other responsibilities I need to switch to part-time. I got up the courage to approach my boss, and she agreed that after we finished training our large influx of new hires in October, I could reduce my hours. However, 2 weeks before I made the switch she sent me an email that stated I will not be permitted to do so until we have hired and trained an undefined amout of new people, due to further staffing needs. I understand the need to pitch in and help the department, but the lack of concrete timeline has me worried 'someday' will never come. It is frustrated to be repetedly promised one thing and at the last minute told something different. I'm not sure what to do. Suggestions?
