Our weekends are more hectic because they think we can do the same patients with one less nurse, one less aid, and far less ancillary staff.

Exactly.

I work weekend nights so I don't see more family but I think it's harder because there is less staff in general. I prefer weekends because management is gone, but we still get plenty of admissions, phone ringing off the hook(with no clerk ), etc. And getting anything done like an MRI takes an act of god.

Weekends are much LESS hectic than weekdays, despite the plethora of visitors one must work around.
