As I have mentioned before, DD is medically complex, so we have in home nursing one night a week so I can get a solid night's sleep.
2 weeks ago, so that she could attend a wedding, one of our nurses asked if she could move her night from Friday to Thursday. Because it was extenuating circumstances, I was happy to accommodate her, but the Friday is part of our family routine.
Fast forward to this Friday past... I got a call mid-afternoon from the agency she works for saying that the nurse said she was unwell and didn't want to pass it to DD (I appreciate that) but she could come the following day.
I am unsure how it is that someone can predict they will be 100% well to care for an immunocompromised child only 24 hours after they have to cancel a shift, so I said no thank you to the Saturday shift.
Sunday, the nurse texted me asking if I was angry about her being sick as I would not give the the hours back. DH and I, as this nurse has a bit of a history of doing the bare minimum, bit feel that the nurse was not actually sick, but trying to get herself a night off without losing any hours.
She logs on to her computer on our wifi as soon as she arrives, when I changed my wifi password, she was downstairs asking for the new one within 10 minutes of arriving - saying she didn't know how she would occupy her night if she couldn't watch netflix.
We are currently trying to find a replacement for her, but with this info, what do you think is more likely - that she was actually sick with an afternoon onset high speed cure illness that would have been gone within 24 hours, or that she was taking the piss with us and trying on changing our schedule to suit her.
So, what do you think?
