Guest guest Posted December 11, 1999 Report Share Posted December 11, 1999 So how do they get the nurses to work NYE? At our hospital we all have to work so much of the holidays that NO ONE would volunteer to work it. We hate taking call because we usually get called in due to lack of staff. I, myself had to be on call Thanksgiving Day, & work Christmas & New Years Day. On top of that I am part time! I wish our hospital would cancel some inductions at the end of the year so we could have a break. Carlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 1999 Report Share Posted December 12, 1999 Carlene..that's a lot of holidays to work for a part-timer. Our hospital policy is part time works only one of the 3 major holidays, and fortunately, we have enough people that we don't have on-calls. We actually had an OB call Friday during the day to schedule and elective C/S for 2345pm on Dec. 31st (he was serious) Anesthesia refused to agree to it tho, so now we are taking bets that he will have the pt.come to his office at 10 pm that night, rupture her membranes and have her show up by 10:30 to HAVE to have her c/s that night. He is that kind of a publicity seeker. Time will tell. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
