It’s pretty much the standard to have to work EVERY OTHER holiday, especially as a new nurse to a job, but every single holiday for the rest of the year?? I’ve never heard of something so cruel. Also NEVER have I ever had to work a holiday during orientation because there is truly no need too. Your not counted as a full employee yet, so you don’t help in the “numbers” (aka even tho your there, you still need to have another experienced nurse to follow you, so your not helping the unit at all being there). I’m not the OP but I seriously hope she quits this job before she starts.
