Alternate weekends is normal in most inpatient environments I've ever worked, nothing to do with seniority or length of service.
Our Sunday hours come with an enhanced rate of pay. Each whole Sunday worked (12 hours) gets me an extra €130 ($155 US), so on a regular month with 2 weekends I'm up €260 ($310).
When I worked in the UK Saturday hours were enhanced too (+ 33%) and Sunday hours were +66%. That was back in the good old days and I believe it's less generous there now.

Hi! New nurse here, and was wondering what your weekend requirements are in your unit? Does it depend on seniority or discussed upon hire? Thanks!
