Grrrr scheduling!

[chenoaspirit]

I work the next 3 nights (12-hr shifts), then off ONE, work 2 more nights, then off ONE, then work one more. Man, I dont know how I am going to make it. This sucks. Anyone else had to work schedules like this?

I work straight nocs and would much prefer to work 7 in a row (8 hour shifts) then two on, one off, three on, etc... The absolute worst is on a noc off a noc or mandatory inservice all day (8-4) then work noc that night.

Have had several on a day off a days lately. Guess I must of teed of the boss or something.

I do the scheduling on our unit and everyone is on a track. So everyone can tell when they will be working. Every other weekend is 3 days off.

I tried to change it and got Major complaints from 90% of the staff.

Talk to you manager, see if they can work something out..

We also do a version of self scheduling. I work Sun, Mon, & Tue. when its my weekend (every 3rd) I work Sat, Sun & Mon. So it gives you some good time off. I work nights so the 1st day is a waste, this makes it a little easier.
