actually - and this is prolly because of where I live - but they could have shifted the people for those that lived closer and could have made it?

we have contingency plans like that where I work ... but it's just an office - not a hospital

Not so easy when it's a flex schedule that's made weeks in advance. - Krusty Feb 5, 19:08 10
- Yeah, she works in the OR. Same kind of thing. - Fuzzy Feb 5, 19:14
- we've done the "pick up people" thing too ... cool to know they don't make you do 24 hour shift - I was thinking that was crazy for health care - JenBro Feb 5, 19:13 1
  - Docs work 24 hours, mostly residents. Sometimes nurses will but it's much more rare. - Krusty Feb 5, 19:16
- *whoa* -- I had *no idea* you work in an ER. nobody tells me anything around here. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 19:09 6
  - I work two jobs. Part time registrar in an ER and for a pet transportation and food company. - Krusty Feb 5, 19:12 5
    - Both jobs I had previously that I had to go back to after I lost a good job a year ago. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 19:13 4
      - Do you not like this job? It sounds more important and thereby rewarding. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:17 1
        
        I love working in the ER but the hours are terrible. - Krusty Feb 5, 19:22
      - I knew you'd lost a job (you walked out, right?) -- but I had no idea you were in healthcare. god, I suck. I get so frustrated sometimes here - amandize Feb 5, 19:16 1
        
        I didn't get bitchy from anything you wrote. :-) - Krusty Feb 5, 19:20
but then the people who live close bear all the brunt of the storm staffing. there's no way to make it fair. the best way is to stick to - amandize Feb 5, 19:06 2
- I guess I was thinking that a nurse working crazy long hours isn't much of a good idea for solid patient care? - JenBro Feb 5, 19:10
- right. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 5, 19:09
we only live 3 miles from hospital, but might as well be 300 right now. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 5, 19:05 1
- Yeah, being in a car in this mess is just dumb. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:08
