Nancy,

 

It seems to make sense, but who else in the hospital needs to be flexible?
My husband & best friend work in a local hospital.  He is in IT - would any
of his crew agree to also be ready to clean up if needed?  As in, I know you
are working on that printer but someone threw up in the hall and you need to
clean that so stop your work on that printer.  Everyone needs to be
flexible.  My friend works in HR - should she get pulled out to help in
admitting because it's really busy?  That one could be seen as patient care
and she could see something that would add to how the patient received care
& the hospital received payment, since she also works in HR.  As I said, no
other hospital position would stand for it.  It just shows little IBCLC's
are thought of in terms of being useful.  In no other hospital position do
the employees plan on being sent to do work they weren't hired for.

 

Sorry but this is really a sore spot for me, since as I said knowing people
who work in hospitals who would never be moved to another area to 'help
out'.
