spouse working same unit

Can anyone out there tell me if there are laws governing a spouse working the same unit? Or is it a management right to deny this? We travel and it is important that we have the same schedule, and helpful if we have each other to count on for assistance

There is no law, but many (if not most) facilities have nepotism policies, and are entitled to have and enforce those policies. Some places only forbid spouses (or other family members) working in a supervisory relationship (where one spouse would be the other spouse's boss), others forbid any relatives working on the same unit, period. It's up to the facility what they will allow.

I'm sure the HR department of any facility would be happy to discuss their policies with you in advance if you asked.

Just curious....isn't it really hard to type out a post and capitalize every word? Doesnt' that take a long time to type out?

hubby and i traveled and worked in the same unit. if they were happy to get one of us, they were thrilled to get both! it's generally worked out pretty well for us. we've taken staff positions in the same cticu now. i'd miss him if he weren't working with me!
