Weekend coverage is required, with every other weekend expected. If a nurse calls out on a weekend, they will be required to make up that time on a weekend.

Covid patients are no longer cohorted; all patients confirmed positive for Covid are taken care of on their respective units. This is a fast-paced unit that requires nurses to manage pain effectively due to a high post-surgical and orthopedic population.
