How does working major holidays go at your hospital?

Do you have to work Thanksgiving and New Years to get Christmas off, and if so do you usually get scheduled for Christmas Eve too?

If you work Christmas, do they usually schedule you Christmas Eve and the day after too?

Just wondering how it works in different places.

We had sign ups for holidays about a month ago. As long as you signed up for 2 out of the 3 you were pretty much guaranteed your request off. If not enough people signed up, they would have had to place people, but more than enough signed up. Money is tight, so people are looking for the extra money.

I signed up for Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. It will kind of suck to be away from DH and the kids but it's only 11pm to 730am, so not too bad. And the money is good.

I like working part time. It isnt as complicated for me.
