Wagon Wheel Schedule?

Has anyone had experience with a "wagon wheel" work schedule? I just interviewed at a facility that uses it and while the DON explained how it is utilized by them I would like to know how people like it in real life. I couldn't find any info on the theory of how it works by googling either so any details would be appreciated.

As a new grad I really don't know what type of schedule I would prefer or even what type is out there beyond the usual shift work mon-fri. I like the facility, I am just confused as to when I would be working. I have a follow up Interview with a manager tomorrow so while I could ask I would prefer to ask questions related more toward patient care.

    What is a wagon wheel schedule? I've never heard that term.

    Apparently it's a schedule that rotates the weekends off that allows for some weekends to have 3 days off in a row.

    I did clinical at a hospital that did EOW, but that weekend included Friday...so, when it wasn't your weekend to work, you had Friday-Sunday off. Not sure if that is the same thing as what you are talking about...the nurses seemed to love it, unless it was their weekend to work ;)
