We have one RN and two STs who staff 11p-7a, to cover traumas and emergencies. We also have two STs and 2 RNs on call so that a team can always be free. We're a level 2 trauma center.

One RN and one ST are in-house from 11p-7a. We also have one call team and a heart call team.

Nope, just the regular 7-3, 3-11 shifts. We do have shifts that overlap like mine, 1pm to 11pm.

We have two teams in main OR and one team in Trauma (we're a Level 1 trauma center). One of our main OR teams acts as trauma backup should multiple level 1's come in. We also have first and second call for general surgery should all teams be tied up, and an open heart team.

No...we don't have an ER, therefore 11p-7a is covered by on call.
