on call rotation

My admin wants me to try an on call rotation for the staff nurses to keep the floor covered. I have worked in several types of nursing settings that used this solution, but that was years ago. Do you use this at your facility and how has it worked out. I know if I try to institute this, the nurses will have 10 fits. When I did on call as a staff nurse, we were to be available that day for the staff should there be a call off. If we got called, we were responsible for calling staff to get the shift covered. If we could not get it covered, we had to go in ourselves and work it, be it a nurse or cna who called off.

    At my place, the ADON, SDC (2--they job share), MDS, the two unit managers, and myself (Mon-Thu eve supervisor) rotate the on call schedule. In the almost 4 years I've been there, the on-call's been called in 4 times. Not too bad.

    We have a new ED who thinks along the same lines of your consultant. She's questioning why a facility our size (only 70 beds) needs an ADON as well as evening and weekend supervisiors. :icon_roll

    Your consultant definately sounds like an idjit. No managers or supervisors for 181 beds?! No way she's spent time working a floor.
