You are the nurse manager on a large unit that has 14 FTE RNs
on staff, 25 FTE LPNs, and 15 FTE nursing aides, orderlies, and
clerks. The schedule for the next 2 months is due in
administration by next week, and you are beginning to work on
it. Various requests have been submitted by personnel for
vacations, educational conferences, time to attend a wedding,
and long weekends, and a request from one nurse asks not to be
rotated to weekend evenings or nights because her husband
bowls on weekends, and she has no babysitter for their three
young children. Then answer the following questions:
What types of additional information do you need to complete
this schedule?
How do you honor requests as submitted? What if two of the
requests for vacations came from RNs scheduled to work the
same weekends, and they both asked for exactly the same days
off?
How do you inform staff whether their requests have been
honored? Are they informed by seeing the posted schedule?
Are requests taken in the order in which they are received? Or
do you have another means of honoring requests?
