Baylor Plan

Published

Hi I am a nursing student that was doing some reading out of my textbook when I read about the Baylor Plan schedule. It really peaks my interest and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good website that tells you what facilities offer this type of schedule. I live in South Carolina so if you know of any hospitals in SC that offer this type of schedule i'd love to know!

i am not aware of a website that lists these types of work hours.

i believe it is individual, per facility.

you will likely have to call up ea facility you're interested in, and ask if they have it.

They used to be popular, but I haven't seen anyone offer the Baylor plan in a very long time.

I haven't heard of weekend pay plans in years, but I do remember them.

I think you'd just need to call around to find out who does scheduling like that. No shortcuts on this one.

Specializes in ICU.

They are pretty much phasing out. Costing too much money I think. The hospital i worked at eliminated it 2 years ago.

Specializes in Trauma Surgical ICU.

I live in SC also and have not heard of any hospitals in the area offer it .. You could check with McLeod, I figured from your username what school you go to and I know they are very large. I left there a year ago and at that time, never heard they offered it but then again, I never asked :) I know grand strand doesn't offer it.. Not sure about Conway hospital. Loris Hospital use to offer it but since McLeod has taking over, I'm not sure if they offer it or not. You will most likely have to call each hospital and ask

Here in the upper midwest weekend programs are pretty common. We do not ever call them Baylor programs. Several hospitals in my area offer them. I was on the weekend program at my last job. You could do either 24 hours and get paid for 36, or do 36 and get paid for 54 hours. Benifits were based on hours paid, not worked. We could only have two weekends a year off and only one could be in the summer. There is alwasy a huge wating list of nurses who want to get these jobs. Usually you couldn't expect to get one in your first 5 years or so. They are very popular with the other nurses as it means they only have to work ever third weekend rather than ever other as it typical in hospitals that do not have weekend programs.

I know of no website that would list them and if there was such a website it would be one made up by some person who called around. Plus some hospitals that offer it this week might not next week. I know of several hospitals that use weekend programs when they are having a hard time recruiting nurses and during times of plenty of nurses (like now) they get rid of them.

Specializes in Level II Trauma Center ICU.

I'm in the Midwest and our hospital has it, but does not call them Baylor plans. Unfortunately, they have drastically reduced the premium pay received for working that schedule and they also pick and choose when they replace the positions when they are vacated.

Spartanburg Regional..... I am a recent RN and have been applying for jobs all over the upstate, and noticed some Baylor Jobs there. I just took a job at AnMed, it is a part time position, but at least I will get my foot in the door and I just started my RN-BSN program at USC Upstate.

Specializes in LTC.

If you look on Monster or any Job search website you can search 'Baylor'. They are few and far between but the pay is FANTASTIC! You do work three 12 hour shifts, every weekend, you LIFE may not be fantastic but your check will be. :D

Some low-country hospitals (Roper and St. Francis) still have Baylor schedules. I don't have a clue about the midlands. Upstate, the only hospital I have seen with a Baylor schedule is Spartanburg Regional. You might just want to look at the various hospitals employment web pages to find out if they have them.
