I currently work as a nurse in the icu, we are overwhelmingly understaffed because the company doesn't value paying staff adequate wages and treating them like humans. The bulk of the staff have left to go to other hospitals that are paying more. I also have a PRN job at “the competition”.
Today I get called in by the assistant manager to discuss my attendance. I was given a verbal “coaching” because in 12 months I have called out 4 times and used sick time. I have been working 5-6 days for months because they have no staff and I have been asked to help and pick up. I have tried to go part time or prn here since November and keep getting denied because “a position isn't available”. But I can go to nights prn now.
I'm done with admin. How are you going to write me up when my hours worked have been double what full-time hours are and you joke I live here. I am constantly asked to flex my schedule or swap days to help and that's the thanks I get.
I cant just up and quit because I am completing clinicals for an advanced degree here.
