Everyone at MSOC would like to wish all our nurses a happy nurses week! Nurses are deserving of not just a day, but an entire week that recognizes their contribution to society. Their skills are greatly appreciated and needed in the healthcare industry. Nurses are and will always be in demand!
For this reason, sometimes nurses may feel complacent and not worry about making a small mistake at one hospital because there are several other opportunities as a healthcare provider- whether it be another hospital, hospice or home health. However, it is vital for healthcare professionals to maintain a good reputation in order to continue working at their preferred hospitals and to earn the respect of their peers and employers.
As a provider of nurses and CNAs to hospitals, MSOC realizes how important it is to have reliable medical staff on our team. Unfortunately, MSOC had to let a few nurses go because their actions didn’t fit with the MSOC Community’s commitment to quality. Late calls and no-shows to shifts are two things our community cannot tolerate. Hospitals also take a strong stance on no-shows and late calls – they automatically mark those nurses as DNR (Do Not Return) for their facility. In fact, after each shift you work, the hospital’s staffing personnel grades you based on the charge nurse’s feedback. Based on the scores you receive, you may become a preferred nurse for that hospital (with a high score) and be requested back time and time again. Your reputation is with you at all times and carries from hospital to hospital.
As Benjamin Franklin said, “it takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” Keeping this in mind will provide you countless opportunities to earn the highest rates in all of Chicago, making every week a happy one for nurses!
