hey guys.

perhaps the brain trust here can help me figure out what is going on with my respiratory department.

in their infinite wisdom, administration of our small hospital, have decided to keep our department dependent upon PRN staff to make up a lack of employees. indefinitely, at least until december. this means that, in reality, our department is understaffed per POLICY. furthermore, they are going to force us day shift folks to rotate a series of night shifts for a week every month or so.

can anyone think of a good or rational reason for doing this?

i have a few ideas: a. they are trying to get some of us to quit. b. they really are that stupid and uncaring of their employees. c. they are trying to save money (not sure how that is going to work in the long run) in order to pad their bonuses.

frankly, it will be pretty much impossible for me to rotate nights because my wife has a job that requires her to work from 6 PM until 1 AM four nights a week. i am already looking for new employment.
