Weekend coverage hospitals

[Squirlatheart]

Hi all,

Could somebody tell me in general for hospital staffing how many weekends a month you have to work? I know it will probably vary some, but I am just trying to get an idea of whether most places you have to work every other or what. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the Baltimore Metro area. We work every 3 rd weekend and it may soon be a little less. I work in a moderate size ER and we just posted and filled 8 weekend option positions. 3=7A-7P 1=11A-11P 1=3A-3P and 3=7P-7A. Day shift option is Saturday and Sunday only, Night shift option is 2 out of 3 Friday through Sunday. The staff who applied were allowed to choose with or without benefits which was about 3 dollars different. Rates went from the high 30's to the mid 40"s per hour depending on shift and benefits. If they work any addition time it is paid at our standard registery rate. If a holiday falls on a weekend they work it. We had all 8 positions filled in less than 2 weeks.

4 weekend days out of a 6 week schedule: 4 saturdays, or 4 sundays, or 2 sat+sun

Every other, unless you want every one. Some staff do and then sometimes the others have a extra one off
