Hi everyone, I’m a fairly new nurse working in a hospital residency program and I’m feeling really overwhelmed with my schedule situation and could use some advice or perspective.
The last two weeks, my schedule has been pretty inconsistent— I’ve only been assigned
2 shifts bc the scheduling app has me on one education day of doing 2-3 hr classes and other times I’ve been taken off shift after asking so I don’t have to be floated to other units . I honestly didn’t think this would be an issue, I knew my
Pay check would reflect it, and I know I don’t have any benefits with the company. I also got these changes approved by my manager.
At the time I thought I had enough PTO to cover any gaps, but between a couple of call-outs and not keeping close track, I don’t have enough PTO left now to cover everything, and now I believe I will get in trouble for this after my director found out about it.
What’s the best way to fix it or move forward professionally?
I know I messed up just really don’t want to get fired from this company.
