Weekend travel assignments

It's not hard to get people to "let" you work every Friday and Saturday, but you will have to work one other shift too. If you work nights I highly recommend working 6 on and 8 off or 7 and 7 if possible. Let's you have a real daytime life and still have the benefits of working nights. Extra weekend shift differentials are a hospital by hospital decision. Be sure to get it in writing on any travel assignment.

Watch out though. I had always thought that, but now I'm at a hospital that pays their staff a high weekend differential so I can't work every weekend. I also don't get paid extra.

I've never heard of it. Because they pay for your housing, you are generally required to work at least 36 hours a week.
