As most of you know I am involved in an MS Research Project in order to gain hours for my nursing license renewal for next year.
The project is part of a program to give nurses on long term disability who are unable to return to their usual jobs, experience in other ares of nursing: In this particular case, research. There are other programs such as flu clinics and other community based projects too. It's also meant to give a reference to those who need one because they have been off for so long that their old references are really not valid anymore after so long a period.
The nurses that the insurance company has been getting involved in this particular project, leave a whole lot to be desired!!
Slack, lazy, unreliable all come to mind.
There were 4 of us initially put into this project. Three of us attended the initial training session. The 4th was supposed to attend the following week.
The following week only 2 of us were in attendance.
Three weeks later the other 2 finally attended for the training.
After the last 2 received their training, one of them showed up one day while I was there, another day while I wasn't there and hasn't been back since. On the day I was there with her she told me flat out that she wasn't taking the work seriously because she wasn't being paid to do it (we only get our usual disability cheque) and she didn't care about it and it wasn't an area of interest for her. I really felt like asking her why she wasted everyone's time to begin with if that's how she felt. I didn't, but I really wanted to.
The girl that was at the initial training session, and who attended the second part of the training a couple weeks after I did, never bothered to show up for work at all after having gotten the training.
The only 2 who have been consistently showing up for work there is me and Jaclyn, the girl who has been off work due to psych issues and was so clingy with me the first day. Granted, she's gotten better and in fact I even like her
A couple weeks ago another girl (Rita) started and I was supposed to be training her. She was supposed to be working from 1pm to 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
She was supposed to show up on October 7th for training, but didn't because she said she had a "conflicting appointment". So she showed up on Thursday, October 9th. She showed up again on Tuesday, October 14th and hasn't been back since.
I called the doctor's assistant and she had just gotten an email from the insurance company saying that Rita couldn't make it this week because she had "conflicting appointments."
How can you have conflicting appointments when you only work 3 hours, 2 afternoons a week? Why not schedule your appointments on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or in the mornings on Tuesday and Thursday?!!
I just don't understand people. They take on a task and then treat it as a joke and in the process waste everyone's time.
I don't know if I expect to much from people but I was raised to take pride in anything I did, whether I was being remunerated for it or not, and to always give 100%.
