Hello!Hoping someone might have answers to a few of my questions:-What constitutes "weekend" at Rush and Northwestern? Where I worked previously if you were scheduled for a weekend it was Saturday & Sunday regardless of being day or night, but I was thinking that this might be different at these hospitals?! Would hate to find out it meant Fri/Sat/Sun or even Fri/Sat...-How often do nurses starting at Rush have to work on the weekend or does it depend entirely on the floor?-What is the scheduling process for Northwestern & Rush? Self-scheduling or otherwise???Any info would be appreciated!!!!! Thank you!

Process varies by unit
