:cry: All day loooooooooong... I hope typing this will help me put all this crap to rest but I doubt it.

I'm trying to say ' it's not that bad it's only a job; my career; my passion but it's soooooooooooo wrong. '

I absolutely HATE (& I don't say that too often at all)- that I can't trust my job.

They appear to be trying to aggravate some of the nursing staff- & now 'they' to have me on the chopping block.

'they' or someone in hr felt they needed to hire a new nurse FT- well no floor needs a new nurse we need a PT nurse that's it.

Well anyway I've been PT (56-64 hours)prior to my surgery (cholecystectomy) & returning to work Nov 17 had to cut my hours to 32 while recooperating Never absent or missed work but just wanted to take it sloooow coming back- my abd is still sore at times after a looooooooong shift but I'm getting stronger; I've worked the past 5 days on 11-7; testing the waters; hoping to feel well enough to increase my hours back up to 64-72hrs. well I DO feel strong enough now ......... so I went to HR & asked if they could increase my hours to 64-72 a 2 week period they said YES. ok .... good cuz $$ is getting pretty tight....

So I go to work last night & find out 'they' hired a new nurse FT .... they said they hired her for the 4th floor ......... ( I'm on the 3rd floor ) ok but she'll orient on 3rd floor ..... cuz the 4th floor is short staffed a lot of the time & they can't orient & do a rushed job short staff .... I'm like yeah well that's why you hired another nurse ???... :icon_roll to help out the 4th floor so they won't be short staffed ..........

So today... I go to work & this new FT nurse is not only on my floor she's taking over all my hours!!!! I went to HR & said what's going on ........ you just told me you would increase my hours yesterday to 64-72 hours like BEFORE my surgery....... she said Sorry can't do that it came from the director of nursing she is to FT on 3RD FLOOR!!! & if YOU WANT TO GET MORE HOURS WE CAN TRANSFER YOU TO ANOTHER FLOOR??!!! I'm like what the heck!!! YOU LIED TO ME!! :banghead: Just yesterday you told me 'no problem' NOW YOU WANT ME TO VACANT MY FLOOR I'VE BEEN ON 4 YEARS-FOR A NEW FT EMPLOYEE YOU HIRED THAT WE DON'T NEED???!!!! :angryfire

I said absolutely NO-WAY!!!! I will stay on the 3rd floor. & thinking I will quit my job; before I accept this crap......... 'they' & HR lady can NOT say they did not know in advance what they were doing & where this new nurse was going to be................ Everyone kept hearing... the new FT nurse WILL BE ON THE 4TH FLOOR- FOR WEEKS WE HEARD THIS.... & now I just have a feeling they are trying to push certain nurses out the door. They have no reguard for if you are an outstanding nurse or give 110% or not........

I tried calling the admistrator ... to find out if there is anything he can do- IT'S SOOOOOO UNFAIR :no: BECAUSE 'THEY' DIDN'T EVEN POST A NEED FOR A FT NURSE IF THEY HAD I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED..... & 'THEY' ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFER ANY NEW POSITION TO INTERNAL STAFF FIRST. EX: WHEN I WAS FIRST HIRED I APPLIED FOR A SUPERVISOR POSITION BUT 'THEY ' SAID........... SORRY WE HIRED SOMEONE INTERNALLY FIRST THEY HAVE SENORITY. I'M LIKE OK THAT'S RESONABLE ......................................................... BUT THIS CRAP- 'THEY' ARE DOING TO ME..... EXCUSE ME IS NOT!! :madface:

I'm off now till next tuesday because that is the way do my awful schedule. I will try every day to contact Eric Adm. to see if he can do anyting. 'they' better not transfer w/o my consent I will give my notice & leave before they transfer me. ....... the 'other' floors are stressfull nightmares......... for me in particular. because I like organization; & order- & knowing the patients are being taken care of properly............. everything on the 'other floors' is soooooooo disorganized, sloppy, it is soooo agravating :bugeyes: :no: .......... on MY CURRENT floor I work w/ 4 ladies ...... they are excellent ....... personnally & professionally you can count on them in a crisis............... unfortunately if I am moved off my floor the 'other' don't have this at all ................. when I get pulled to these floors all I do is shake my head at all the disorder...........& lack of compasion for the patients.

NO SORRY THEY ARE NOT MOVING ME TO ANOTHER FLOOR I'LL QUIT BEFOR THEY DO THAT :banghead:................ I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THINGS WILL PAN OUT FINANCIALLY....... BUT I WILL PROBABLY SIGN UP W/ AN AGENCY TILL I FIND A PERMANENT POSITION.. IF it comes to that..

THANKS FOR READING IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR. I'M SOOOOOOOOO NOT HAVING A GOOD DAY THE TEARS WON'T STOP.... :crying2:
