My job entails a 10p to 6a shift. I'm a nurse, so to leave the place with your license, you have to give report and count narcotics with the nurse coming on. No relief means you can't leave. Rarely have we had a no-call/no-show, and we've always been able to get a replacement in a timely fashion. We also have call days, wherein if a nurse on the shift previous to yours or following yours calls in, you would either come in half a shift early or stay half a shift late. Which means I tentatively work 6p to 10a on my call days. I was just asked (after calling in yesterday and today because of vomiting and s/s consistent with food poisoning) to come in at 6am. I told them no. They said 10am. I said no. They said we don't have anyone else and you've called in two days in a row. I said yeah, I called in because I was sick, for yesterday and THE SHIFT THAT STARTED TWO HOURS AGO. They said I needed to come in and work 6a to 2p then come back at 10p to 6a "because I was on call". I told them 'on call' means I'll be there at 6pm if they need me, otherwise I'd be there at 10pm. They tried to say more but I hung up.
