I was offered a position at a hospital I had worked at as an agency LPN, and I accepted. My agency was wonderful and knew that I was looking for a permanent place, so they let me go, w/o charging a fee. It was for float pool, but due to poor staffing, I somehow am still working 48 hrs a week (four 12's back to back, w/ weekends off).
Yesterday I received a call from the house supervisor, who told me that my shift was cancelled(I work 7p-7a, so this call was around 4p). So, I grabbed a few friends, told them I was off for the night, and went to catch a movie, followed by dinner. After I had gotten to dinner, and remembered to turn my cell phone back on (had it on silent during the movie), I noticed I had a voicemail. The VM stated that "One of our LPNs called and quit, and I know you were called off, but we need you. Come in ASAP".
I called the nursing office, but no answer. I hadn't worked in a few days(fri-sun, and then was cancelled on monday), so tonight a friend calls to check on me. I was then informed that I was labeled a no call no show:angryfire:angryfire:angryfire and I have to work dayshift tomorrow to meet with the house sup and the nursing director at the hospital to explain myself.
I know I posted this as a vent thread, but was I wrong? I was told I was cancelled, went out to a place where I couldn't use my phone, and then they decided they needed me. I wonder if this will result in disciplinary action? Getting an LPN position in a hospital is hard in my area, and I don't want to lose my job, but I fear what tomorrow brings. Any advice? I really love this job...
