Hello, I’m always a reader here but never post or reply LOL anyways I have a dilemma and need help. I was hired I’m presuming rotating but was primarily nights. Never worked nights before in my life and eventually switched to days a few years ago. Working nights was horrible for me, gave me horrible anxiety and was always sick. Once I switched to days everything changed and life got better. I made the switch to fill time days and my wife went to bcecome full time days . She’s a nurse too. We work off each other schedules to avoid babysitting issues. Our hospital and especially unit is having trouble keeping ppl on nights and was told we will rotate nurses back to nights for 6weeks or so. I physically can’t do it . My Dr before told me that I had to come off nights which I did. Do I have anyway of getting out of this? I think not due to the contract most likely saying rotating. Any help please and thank you

This may be true but doesn't always guarantee it either. Are we wrong to complain about this? Of course I am voting for the proposal to be 3 group rotation.

I said the same thing but it didn't fly.

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice for our holiday situation. Currently at our facility we are required to work 3 major holidays out of the 6. The issue is for night shift staff. They are required to work the night before the holiday into the holiday. If it isn't your holiday to work, you work the night of the holiday. In essence, you are basically working every holiday. Day shift has the better package right now. They just work the day of the holiday. So the new proposal from the manager is to make it fair for everyone and work the day before the holiday and the day of the holiday. So the following two years you don't work the holiday you worked both sides of. Instead of 2 groups, it will consist of groups a,b,c. Night shift is happy with this proposal because we will be able to spend a full holiday with our family. I know a hospital is 24-7 facility and I knew we would work holidays and weekends, just not every holiday. Day shift isn't happy with the proposal and have a lot of pushback. We have to put in our votes by the end of this month. The issue is that there is more dayshift staff and casuals that make up that side of the pot so I also feel like it may or may not slay to declining this proposal. I think it's fair for both sides that way everyone gets to enjoy time with their family. What are your thoughts?
