staffing/schedulingRating: (votes: 0) I've worked in 3 different hospitals and it has always been some version of: Agency, overtime, extra shift, then whoever is at the top of the list. Full or Part time never came into the equation. Comment:
Yeah, ours is overtime, agency, the 2 different types of float pool, anyone working above their required hours, prn staff, then we've got a list with everyone and go from longest since called off up the list. Part-time/full-time doesn't come into the picture.
Comment:
When we have a low census out part timersare called off first. The reasoning is that full timers are garanteed full time hours while part timers are not garanteed hours.
Comment:
In my hospital full time is top of the totem poll, then part time, and then per-diem. Full timers need their hours to meet group status and get their benefits...although on-call time does go towards this; so I am not sure how this works in your situation as far as part-time going before full-time. We to go by "turn for call", anytime you are on call it goes in a book. Who ever was on call the farthest date out gets the on call (i.e. Jane was on call June 1st, Jack was on call June 11th, Betty was on call June 13th....Jane gets the on call) unless some one requests it.
Comment:
If we have a low census, those who are in OT or would enter OT with the shift are called out first, then PRNs. It's rare that we've had to call out FT staff.
Comment:
Outside Agency-->Anybody in OT regardless of status-->RN from another unit working extra---->Per Diem--->Weekender working an extra shift besides their 2 required--->Part-time--> Full-time--->Weekender.
Comment:
Ours is overtime, requests, on call, turns. We have been getting HR'd frequently lately (that will change greatly as just had a voluntary seperation and lots of nurses left) and full time/part time doesn't come into play. I'm part time and I was hired to work 24 hours a week just like full time was hired to work 36 hours a week. Probably depends on how you were hired in/contract reads.Emily
