Once my employer stopped paying nurses bonus money for coming in when staffing was short, nurses naturally stopped coming in. I know I did. I stopped taking extra shifts, because my time off was worth more than the little bit of extra cash. I mean, I only work one day per week, sometimes two if I feel like it.
So now the ED is back to a staffing shortage.
So badly that I was called this morning and asked to work an extra shift today. I turned it down, because I am already working four 12 hour shifts this week, and had been cheated out of two of my three bonuses I was told I could have until they cancelled the bonus system.
So then they offered me a $25 per hour bonus if I would come in. OK, so I am working 60 hours this week. That’s just more money in the IRA for the future. I can be a whore like that sometimes. I guess they need to keep the emergency room open more than they need to save money.
