Weekend RNs

[margo123]

I'd be interested to hear from nurses out there who work weekend option jobs. My hospital is treating us badly. They are only allowing one weekend a year for sick time. We're allowed a total of three weekends a year off including vacations. Our jobs will be posted if we exceed this. Most of us are foregoing our vacations in case we get sick or have family emergencies beyond the one allowed weekend. Our jobs will be posted then as regular eight hour shift jobs. The hospital wants rid of weekend option but firmly denies it. Are any of you experiencing this?

Weekender here

We are allowed 2 weekends a year vacation time. I dont know about call ins though. They arent trying to get rid of us. In fact, we are trying to hire more nurses to work this option and have an all weekend staff because it works so well.

I know I sure love it!
