Anyone on a block schedule?

Hi all,

I'm about to start in a new ED, (ordering those scrubs must have manifested the offer, seriously), where they're utilizing a block schedule. Days are grouped and change every week; excluding holidays, you'll already know when you're working, say, next March. I've mostly worked per-diem and have always self-scheduled, so I'm not sure what to expect.

Anyone here work on a block schedule? Have you had any issues with scheduling PTO, trading shifts, etc? I'm concerned if staffing is crap, I'll be stuck to try to get a day off here or there, (already been there, done that.) Any feedback appreciated!

    Theres good and bad things about it. You can schedule further in advance since you know when youre working 4-5-6 months from now. It all depends who you work with. If there good people theyll switch with you and you can make anything work. It stinks that you cant work 6 in a row to get 8 off and other shenanigans like that. Overall havnt noticed much of a difference between it and working different days every week. Just different ways you need to plan ahead
