NP Inpatient Float Pool

One of our local hospitals is trying to cut costs for overtime shifts by pushing all inpatient APPs into a float pool. The goals isn't even to block people into certain practice areas for a set period of time, but rather to show up the day of your shift and learn what unit you'll be in (like an RN float pool).

The existing NPs are obviously giving a huge amount of pushback, so instead they're trying to hire all new grads (particularly PAs with zero hospital experience who don't know any better) into the float pool. It's been going exactly as well as you would expect.  ?

I know the staffing situation is dire, but this ain't it.

    Do you have a union? A similar tactic was being introduced at some point where I work where some NP's were being asked to work in short staffed departments to "cross train" with training on the fly. Needless to say, the union was called, job descriptions were pulled out, and a cease and desist in now in place.
