Don't you just love it when managers have all these strict scheduling rules but then they turn around and break them for their own personal convenience?

Mine blatantly broke a couple of the scheduling rules. I won't get into too much detail but I am pissed about it. Of course instead of moving someone else over, they screw me over all the while breaking their rules for their benefit. I don't care that I am one of the newer ones, there are scheduling rules for a reason.

Now I know why this place has such a high turnover. I have been here for several months and they are hemorrhaging nurses. Every day I get a call begging for me to come in. They are losing a few more night nurses now, one that I know of is due to scheduling reasons. I also know of a couple people who are planning to leave. So in less than five months, I know at least five nurses who have or will be leaving with a couple more on the way out.

I knew going into nursing that I would work some weekends, holidays and nights. But this job said they weren't allowed to force someone to work three twelves in a row but here I am scheduled to work almost double that amount consecutive shifts and of all times, over the weekend holiday. Nevermind I am already fulfilling my holiday night shift or am working an extra weekend shift.

Ugh. I can't wait to get my one year in and bounce.
