I’ve been looking through the policies at the hospital I work at and I can’t find out what days of the week are considered the weekend. 

When I worked nights, it was 7p Friday night through 7a Monday morning.

Saturday and Sunday, but if you start your shift on Friday and it rolls into Saturday, you get the weekend differential.  Works out great for working nights, since I get weekend shift differential for the full shift Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (36 hours, extra 35% of base pay per hour).  Day shift only gets Saturday and Sunday weekend differential (extra 25% of base pay per hour).
