It's real hard in Michigan to do that, because these idiots take a floor nurse with no MDS training, and dangle M-F w/ "occasional" on call in front of them, and a dollar or two an hour more. Of course, you get what you pay for, and then they can't figure out why the RUGs dropped, but I guess there's a problem with basic logic.----- Original Message -----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 9:35 PMSubject: Working the floorIn a message dated 1/5/2004 7:27:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Another question for you all, how many of you work the floors as the "spare >nurse" when someone calls out? How do you deal with that situation?I will not work the floor. If I wanted to be a floor nurse I would be. I am starting at a new facility in 2 weeks and that was the first question I asked in my interview.I also had the NHA but in my job description that I will not be pulled to work the floor. Our job is too important to be pulled. There are many others before me who can go to the floor and it does not have an inpact on the MDS/PPS process...Which means $$$$$$$$Our positions are too hard to fill not to keep us happy. I hope everyone knows that :)
