What does EOW mean in Nursing?

Students General Students Nursing Q/A

Updated:  

I have an interview for a unit secretary position tomorrow (I am pre-nursing and just applied to nursing school in the fall) at a local hospital. It says it is a full time position, Nights, and then it says EOW.

What does EOW mean in terms of shift?

I'd go with #2. Usually it's equal opportunity employer, EOE.

Thanks everyone!

I think you are right about the every other weekend thing, because it is not listed by every job posting, only some.

I will confirm tomorrow for sure at the interview.

Thanks again for your help.
