I trust things will go the way they should, absolutely. My husband just does all the chores on weekends I work and he doesn't (like this weekend). It's just annoying because then it really feels like I do nothing, but currently I'll get a day off then have to work the next day, then get another day off a day or 2 after and I'm stuck resting when I'm off because I need to. Then the rest of this month at least I'm working one day every weekend so it's still going like that. I'd love to work from home or survive on my artwork, but it doesn't seem very likely. My job currently I've had to argue to get a day off one week because they scheduled me an extra day, and I'm constantly called in on days off and cover for other people. They're all irritated that I'm putting a stop to the overtime then accusing me of having it easier during my pregnancy than when they were pregnant. The only thing I wanted out of was lifting heavy linen bags which isn't something we normally do, and the main girl complaining never had to do it to begin with and only worked in one spot, also was allowed to stay out of isolation rooms (same as me) yet she's claiming she never had that. She's a healthy 21 year old girl comparing her 2nd pregnancy to an almost 30 year old on her first pregnancy who also has health problems. I can't believe my boss has been allowing it, and when I brought it up I was told she has things rough and I need to just get over it. Pretty sad I've been here 3 1/2 years always been a hard worker, that girl had been here just over one and I'm being treated like that.
That sounds terrible for your job to treat you that way sad being constantly called in on days off isn't all that fun, either. It sounds like you've been doing your best work all this time and now that things aren't going the way everyone else wants they blame you. Jobs like that just eat you away, the stress is real.
To think pregnant women have it easier rolleyes what's wrong with people?
Yeah, you totally can't prepare pregnancies between one woman to the next - they're not all the same situation.
That's sad that your boss told you to get over it sad is there an HR Department that you're able to reach out to that's above her?
I've been lied to the whole time. I worked in surgery on nights, and I was told that I'd have surgery during the day because the main surgery person calls in all the time. Well, she manipulates it and she still gets surgery, then that's when I get called in (like before) is because she calls in, or moved there because she calls in... so technically, I'm still surgery. I was also suppose to be made tech 2 because I clean surgery, my mother in law last request before she retired at the start of the year (she was my old boss). And I will not be made tech 2. I was going to go to hr but technically the one above my boss, over our department in multiple hospitals stepped in and sent out an email about all the bullying and everything needing to stop, so technically I can't complain because they did something.
I've been thinking of looking into nfts and trying to sell some artwork that way, maybe make enough that I just have to work part time or can actually find something else and afford a pay cut. We just need something with insurance. My husband works for his brothers business but they don't have insurance through that. Just 3 brothers in the glass business.
That's definitely not good sad any employer that feels okay telling lies to their employees is capable of so much more corruption.
Oh, I see about the HR thing. It's harder to do anything after a point. Although, if they had sent out something saying the bullying needs to stop and it's been some time after that and it still hasn't stopped, it wouldn't hurt to bring it to the attention of HR's attention because it's more of harassment issue at that point.
Insurance is definitely nice to have with baby because labor and delivery isn't cheap. Although, most hospitals will offer a payment plan if it came down to that, but it's still quite a bit to owe. Not having to pay that or not having to pay the full cost is nice.
It's definitely hard to get insurance when switching jobs, too, because of sometimes the time frames involved before benefits kick in.
Benefits are definitely harder to acquire through a small business - they aren't ever cheap for employers to offer to employees. It's quite awful...wish benefits or medical in general was a bit more affordable for people.
This is why we're waiting until I'm on maternity leave before I make the switch. And it was a little more recent when they stepped in so I'd have to wait for a while before I talk to hr, but literally everyone is leaving who works here and going somewhere else, so we may have different staff entirely.
Hopefully that'll all go smoothly.
Hoping the high turnover rate will prove to be useful in this situation. 3nodding

It's looking pretty grim honestly. I argued with a charge nurse Sunday and lately I'm moved to ED more and taken out of surgery, where they still keep putting the girl who calls in all the time. Then I just feel short of breathe with all the ppe I have to put in in ed. It's more than in surgery. I'm afraid I'll pass out again. :c

Does "ED" here stand for "emergency department"? Just being sure I understand razz
That's a valid fear. Many departments in hospitals are uber busy all the time sad

Oh, yes that's what it means. We're so use to just abbreviation I forget sometimes. sweatdrop
Sometimes yes sometimes no. We could be filled with patients and I'll still see people sitting around a lot of the time.

It's all good. That's what I figured you meant. I have a family member that deals with hospitals for their work quite often so that makes sense xp
That's rough when a hospital doesn't have workers that seem to want to be there and do their job. Not the first time I've heard of that, though...sadly.
I remember my husband's sibling was a translator for a hospital for many years before finishing their nursing degree, and they said they never knew how this one lady wouldn't get fired. She'd get there so late...almost whenever she wanted and wasn't getting fired at all and she didn't know how she kept her job.

Yeah I'm at work now looked at the schedule immediately upset to the point I want to cry. They've already been scheduling me in surgery less and less and they know I love it back here, but the normal surgery girl never is here... then next week it has her training the new girl back in surgery I'm assuming so I can be taken out for good. Also next week, they have me scheduled an extra day AGAIN just like Thanksgiving week when I worked... I had to fight for my day then and I already had a talk after I passed out about having to work my scheduled hours I can't do extra... I'm so sick of this place and how my department treats me, I seriously want to just walk out but I can't.

I hope you'll ultimately be in less stress wherever they put you instead of more sad that's rough.
I guess if you did walk - what is the most that's going to happen? Not having an income stream and loss of health benefits. Although, a lot of hospitals work on a payment plan, I suppose in theory you could pay off the labor and delivery over the course of months. It's not exactly fun, but if you absolutely had some money saved up and could walk then it might not hurt too much. Money can be replaced, a job can be replaced, but you nor your baby can be replaced.
I used to tell my husband quite often, "Your health is more important than your job. You can always find a new job, but you can't be replaced." Now he's at a point where he's pretty much driven his body into the ground, has basically no immune system, a grave medical diagnosis, and can't do most jobs out there because he can't afford to get sick. He didn't schedule the time to rest and substituted caffeine instead to push his body past the limit so now his body is certainly scheduling in all that extra sleep for him at our entire family's expense. No job is worth running your body down that much.
Hopefully like most things, this is a season that will pass and then within time you'll be able to be back to what you love doing whether it's this hospital or another one. 3nodding
