Weekend only job (bailer shift)

It's actually 'Baylor' as in Baylor University where the idea originated. Few hospitals still off this expensive program any longer, sadly.

Yea,, I worked at an actual Baylor hospital and what they did was pay a hefty differential that brought you up to roughly the equivalent of 32hrs/week. You did have access to full time benes so that was good.

That sounds like a good job, I want to find something like that.

It's Baylor. And no, not a cost effective shift in this day and age.

The last time I saw a Baylor shift available was in LTC.

In CT, the only place I have seen Baylor shifts are with visiting nursing associations. Haven't seen any in the hospitals though.

They were fairly common in the 80s.

Weekend Baylor shifts at healthcare facilities in the metro area where I live all disappeared into thin air soon after the financial meltdown of 2008.

I used to work two 16 hour shifts every Saturday and Sunday, had Monday through Friday off and received 40 hours worth of pay with benefits for the week. I also used to work two 12 hour shifts every Saturday and Sunday and received 32 hours of pay per week with benefits. These Baylor shifts no longer exist where I live.
