  1. Just curious,.....what is your unit's weekend rotation requirement. On our unit, it is every other Saturday/Sunday and every other Friday. Every unit at our hospital is different. Advanced care works every third and ICU every 6th.

    I work in critical care, we are typically required to work every other weekend, but some have managed to find a way around this...

    I worked in critical care until recently and full time staff were required to work 4 weekend shifts (12 hr shifts) in a month's schedule. Fri night 7pm to 7Am counted as a weekend shift.

    We self scheduled so you could get your weekend shifts over by doing fri, sat & sun of one weekend and then one night of the another.
