    mandykatrn replied to faithrn2002's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I have definitely found that to be the case. Especially at union-affiliated hospitals, because they go by seniority when filling open positions. Since days tends to be the most desired shift,...

    mandykatrn replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn
