I was contracted for 13 weeks for a med/surg floor, 12 hr. nights (which is my preferred shift). I go in to work to find that the Dec. schedule is out and I am NOT on it! I begin asking around and am told through the hospital grapevine that I have been moved to 2nd floor which is ortho/tele. Not only that but DAY shift!!
I called my recruiter, who called the hospital and they gave him a spiel about "Oh she won't have to do cardiac drips, etc. just more acute M/S pts." SURE........this is the hospital who's orientation consisted of "Hi, here are your 7 pts tonight and oh yeah, you have an admission on the way."
My recruiter told ME to call the 2nd floor manager and speak to her about the change of shift. IS this MY responsibility? Isn't this what the recruiter gets paid to do, mediate???
I am so mad that I just want to cancel this contract. Only problem being is that this is local to my home and I hate to burn bridges. But I will not be someone's doormat.
PLEASE...........any suggestions public or private are extremely welcome.
Crying in IL,
Trish
