[RetRN]

There are two sides to every story and we are only getting one here. 

Why is he there on a vacation day? That was not allowed when I worked.

I think he was setting himself up for problems, he probably should have been escorted out.

Sheesh, what childish behavior.  🤦‍♀️

[deeva]

She sounds like a spoiled brat.

It's something he does periodically because he likes being onsite on the hospital.  His boss knows, coworkers probably know.  These are not office clerks.   They are registered nurses with years of experience and advanced degrees and certifications.

why are you "educating" me about the nurses credentials? I said nothing to indicate that I was unaware. I'm a retired RN, last ten years of career as hospice case manager.

Another thread based on a 2nd-hand (husband said ...) & 3rd-hand (the boss said/the scheduled nurse said ...) story.

It has a 1-sided perspective.

I seriously doubt that an employee with the responsibilities that the scheduled nurse has would suddenly behave that way at the workplace.

I'm not buying this story.

I work with 4 different hospitals in my area as an outside provider.  All of the hospitals have Case Management nurses and Discharge Planners onsite everyday.  None of them work remotely (unless they work for a health plan or hospice for instance).  It is normal to see 4-5 CM/DPs in a hospital most days.  I would not want to be a patient in a hospital where my CM or DP worked from home.  Their responsibilities are to put eyes on the patient and work with the patients RN and attending MD to manage their care and work on an appropriate discharge date.  Even during the pandemic the CM/DPs were in the hospitals. I guess it varies from hospital to hospital. 

I don't think it was a good idea for him to go in on a holiday and his day off.  That's just me.

I assumed he was a manager so I probably needed to read more closely.

No matter what the line of business, it is disruptive to have someone come in on their day off.  This is especially true on a holiday.

 The other nurse may have had something to do or someone to take care of and couldn't take off.

 The OPs husband coming in and just reading journals or cleaning his desk would get on the other employees' nerves--especially if they were busy.   

Been there (on both side) and learned a valuable lesson.

She got upset because he told her no. Maybe since they got along she thought he would have switch with her.

a job i once enjoyed changed upper management and with it the whole work atmosphere changed from that point i could not wait till the day i could retire and to say i do not miss it would be and understatement 

shortly after retiring i started my in-the-clients-home pet sitting business    it is a job i absolutely love and also adds to my fixed income financial status
