short staffed

What suggestions do you have to help cover shifts where employees have called in leaving the floor short-staffed?

This might help.

We recently became a participant in a Nurse Residency Program with a University in CA. You wouldn't believe how much this has helped with our staffing issues. Here's the main reason. The Nurse Residents have to work a minimum amount of hours each week in order to keep their scholarship with the University. We have really been able to count on these people when our staff has called in. Plus, although they are "students", in order for them to be in the program they have to already be RN's.

I've been posting on the boards trying to find anyone else that has had experience with this program or one similar.
