People with Jobs in Nursing (United States)

I was asked to "ACT" as unit manager on my unit by my nice boss, she stated that my work ethics were great, and I had all the managerial skills necessary. After 6 months, I was offered the job, which I accepted, and I signed a new job description manual with her and HR. After 3 months, I was told the company had located a potential RN for the position, and I was dismissed from the position of unit manager. I was offered a part time position in my old spot, which I refused, my only option was to resign as there was no longer a full time position available for me. I was used, and I have checked around and there are no labour laws in Florida to protect us from this kind of situation, unless you are a union member. So, don't let the nice boss scam you into the dream job offer with the word "ACT". Only accept positions within the scope of practice of your job description.

i am from other country. i worked in a hospital for 14 months. let me tell you the truth. we had some pca's who are hard working, two of them does not do their job and sit on the computer looking for the next shopping sale and other stuff in the afternoon, after the supervisor leave. so i used to work hard to finish the job, including their job. i got tired of it. one pca leaves the floor to somewhere.And by the end of the day my legs start hurting and i am young. no health problems as such. these people get away with it too. they know how to talk nice and please the managers. i thought i should get paid for both pca work as well as Rn job. but to be honest you and i know that is not going to work. i finally got tired of it and went for night job so i don't have to feed patient 3 times a day which the pca should be doing. i think if all nurses think this way there won't be any nurses during the day. pca will have to do the RN jobs too.
