What are your hospital policies about the number of hours you must have off between shfits? We were always told that if we were called in in the middle of the night on our call shift, that we had 8 hours from the time we clocked out before we had to be back in for our shift, assuming we were scheduled to work that day. Apparently our new director is raising a stink about this policy stating that if we havent' worked 16 hours in that day, then we must report for our scheduled shift at the scheduled time even if we were called in at midnight and left at 3A.
