DNR or Do Not Return is an industry-standard in agency staffing. This feature specifically allows facility managers to control who can see, apply, and work their shifts.
Reasons for a DNR
DNR is not something to be taken lightly, and facility managers know to use this feature only if there has been a violation, such as:
Attendance and Punctuality
Refusing assignments, NCNS, arriving late, excessive callouts, etc.
Clinical Competency
Abandoning mid-assignment, documentation errors, abuse, medication errors, etc.
Attitude and Cooperation
Unprofessional behavior, being on the phone, sleeping on the job, etc.
Facility Preference
Conflict of interest, contractual agreement, etc.
What happens if I receive a DNR?
You will receive an email informing you of the DNR. You should respond to this email if you would like to submit a statement regarding the reported offense. If we do not receive your statement, no further investigation will be done.
DNR's can lead to a deactivation. There is no set amount of DNR's that will lead to a suspension. Each DNR will be assessed based on your current work history, the reasoning behind the DNR, and how many DNR's you have.
What DNR communication does a nurse receive?
If you are DNR’d by a facility, you will receive an email stating that a specific facility has DNR’d you for a specified reason.
If you are DNR’d you will:
Receive an email stating the reason for the DNR
Be removed from upcoming shifts at the facility
Won’t be unable to see any shifts from the facility
Can a nurse be removed from DNR?
Yes! If you find yourself DNR’d by a facility, it is possible to be removed from DNR by the facility.
In the event this happens, ESHYFT will send you an email, notifying you that you have been removed from DNR.
Once removed from DNR, you will again be able to view, apply, and work shifts at that facility.
