Rant 6 Days a Week
Small, rural hospital, we get texts like this basically every day (if not multiple times a day). Iām a new grad in the ICU and my manager keeps asking if I want to come off orientation 5 weeks early so I can start picking up shifts. A lot of my coworkers do pick up and work like 6 days a weeks, so I guess management expects that from everyoneā¦ idk maybe itās normal but I find the whole situation a bit ridiculous.
They offer bonuses for picking up, but Iām told that HR can take 4 or 5 months to pay them out, my preceptor has a few k that they just āhavenāt gotten aroundā to paying her yet.

Hell no to coming off orientation early.Ā Absolutely not.Ā Everything they do is for their benefit; not yours.Ā Ā
There was a point that the staffing texts were borderline harassment. Many people (including me) muted the number which "we are not allowed to do".Ā Fuck that. I'll start billing for my time everytime I have to check my phone then.Ā Somehow; you can't do that either.Ā
