Pros of our rotation;
We only do it once every 8 weeks
We are on Call only 1 Holiday a year

Cons of our rotation;
We do not receive any extra dollar compensation but we get to take the time back as a day off in the same pay period.
This works well for us.]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:07:49 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193683 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193683 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:30:00 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193684 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193684
There is no additional compensation provided to the nurses. One of our challenges is that sometimes we have multiple simultaneous emergencies with all RNs deployed. We are looking at possibly adding a part-time RN to work in Assisted Living.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:30:44 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193685 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193685 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:31:19 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193687 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193687
The Pros of having an on-call rotation are many:
1. It creates consistency with staffing
2. Better continuity of care
3. Decreases the need for agency staff.
4. Decreases the likelihood of working under-staffed when there is a call-out.
5. Offers some peace of mind to the Director of Nursing and all staff knowing that there is back up.

The cons are few:
1. Making sure that the holidays are not falling on the same persons rotation.
2. Replacing the on-call person when they are sick.]]> Wed, 27 Jan 2016 14:32:06 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193836 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1193836 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 18:52:49 GMT https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1199452 https://www.leadingagenc.org/forums/posts.aspx?topic=1199452
During the week we have a staffing coordinator to staff all of nursing. The manager on duty is responsible for covering any call outs after the staffing coordinator leaves for the day. The ADON and myself are “on phone call” 24hr/day, 7days/week. ]]> Fri, 12 Feb 2016 19:25:43 GMT
