Hi Guys.
I really need some advise here....Im from overseas and just started working as an RN in a hospital this September. Coming this next weekend ive worked 9 weeks straight and by the looks of it i will have to continue working every single weekend next year as well + they have mainly rostered me on evening shifts only to have a few morning shifts when it suits them.....Is this fair/Legal for the ward to roster me like this? I expressed to my CN a month ago that i was more than willing to do every 2nd weekend and that i would like to have a mixture of mornings and evening shifts but that i dont wanna work every weekend, but looks like that hasnt had any impact as im looking at working every weekend in January. I just got married and have only been able to have dinner with my husband 1 evening in the past 2 months and let alone get to spend anytime with him what so ever as he works on my days off....This i have also explained to my CN but again without any impact! Im ready to resign if this doesnt get changed but i really wanna stay as i love nursing, but i hate not having a social life and not getting to see my husband!
