Will it never end?

Had an IVP today at hospital at which I used to work. Just so happened that old buddy was radiology nurse. She is a 27 year veteran at this hospital. Told her that I was glad to see her, she was terrific nurse when we worked together. She said if you had come for this proceedure next week I would not be working here. Asked her why. She said they brought in a consultant and things were going to dogs. Big downsizing going on and her nurse manager, a person that she greatly respected, had been sacked. She said that the people who were getting the boot seemed to be the ones that had been there a long time and were making good money and had a lot of vacation and sick time. She has had a life long dream of moving to Florida and she figured it was a good time to follow that dream. Only regret she expressed was that she has a lot of sick time that she will lose. She said she could kick herself for being such a good trooper and never calling off. (Personally I think I would call off sick for a week or two and then hand in my resignation)

Well I can't say this:

Sooooooooooo glad I work in a unionized hospital.

But I can say:

Soooooooooooo glad I am an Agency Nurse! :eek:

The Dogs!
