A new initiative being rolled out to meet 24hr deadline for Medicaid and DSNP TATs is for RNs in the state of issue to work weekends but our nurses that are out of states are not being forced to do so. You can not make 1/2 your team work weekends and holidays if the other half because of residency out of state conflicts with CMA guidelines. This is complete cr-p! How do you justify that??

@cb did not spend 12 yrs in Job to work weekends and holidays…if they want weekend peeps save some jobs that will be layoffs and give them a chance to stay with alternate work schedules.
@OP several thoughts here…
Not really the appropriate place for this post. 1.5 years ago I was losing sleeping knowing our team was on the chopping block. I ended up changing teams internally and now work UM in M&R and E&I. My team was entirely let go 4 months after I made the switch. But seeing this post for people that are stressed about job loss is wild…
I assume those nurses aren’t working weekends based on state guidance and licenses. Should they have to work weekends to hold your hand as moral support even though they can’t work those cases? Would that make you feel better about working the weekend? Not to be insensitive but life isn’t fair. It wouldn’t be fair for them to have to work the weekend if there are not short TAT cases they can actually work. It doesn’t sound like they are making you work the weekend to be mean. It sounds like they are doing it to meet TAT and stay in compliance.
@ay RN=Registered Nurse.
TAT= Turn Around Time
