Greetings! Hope all is well with you and your families!
As we enter into the holiday season, please know I believe in a work life balance and it is important for you to maintain that ! Melissa and I also have to fill shifts in order to create a safe work environment so you will likely get a number of texts about openings but I don’t want anyone to feel bad about saying no; it is very helpful if you will let us know “yes, no, or let me check” so we know what possibilities remain rather than ghosting us!
PAYROLL – we have to have payroll completed on Sunday by 2pm since this is a holiday week. Please check your timecard for accuracy and if you have some education from the last couple of weeks, we will need to enter it asap.
TIMECHANGE – from payroll: Daylight Savings Time – Employees clocked in at 2:00 am (Sunday, November 7th) will have their time cards adjusted appropriately for the “fall” back one hour. If possible, please make sure employees are not clocked out at this time (for evening break) so the system can auto adjust appropriately.
RESIGNATION: Daytime Charge Nurse at TSQ, Chelsea Galbraith, told me some time ago that she was going to the VA. She gave notice last Tuesday then a couple of hours later became quarantined r/t exposure so she didn’t get to finish her shifts and have a proper send off! There will be a basket with NW stationary at each site for you to write a note and to collect any items you may want to voluntarily contribute to a gift basket for her. Please have notes/items in by 10/10/21
TSQ Day CN position open: send Andrea and Melissa a message that you are interested in it and attach a resume by 11/3/21 5pm.
STAY UP TO DATE: It is an expectation that you will stay up to date on reading your email every shift. Also, we will be sending out frequent notices about HealthStream. Should you have any difficulty completing these during regular hours let us know as we would approve time before or after shifts to complete these items. Thanks!
REFERRAL BONUS: Remember there is referral money if you talk a nurse into hiring on at NW…..we need night nurses FT, PT, prn !
SCHEDULE: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY, a schedule sign up ShiftHound reminder will be sent out the Sunday night that starts sign up week. If you miss your sign up time and fail to sign up by the Sunday night following the schedule sign up period; you will be assigned your required FTE amount of shifts on Monday morning. For example, the next sign up period starts November 14 and goes through November 20; on Monday 11/22 we will assign shifts to anyone who did not sign up and any open shifts will be available for all staff.
Durable Medical Equipment: Starting next month, any missing durable medical equipment that does not have a completed form and facesheet in the folder (do not send it to medical records) will be charged to NW. Doing this process was part of skills day so please let me know if you have any questions!
I know there have been some items that we have been without for a while that we thought were ordered…. Monitor cords, otoscope heads, etc. I am meeting with CS tomorrow to try and rectify this.
Thanks for all you do !
