The nurse manager has open shifts on the Medical–Surgical unit. The manager listed the open shifts on the hospital's intranet system. There is a central staffing manager who helps fill open shifts with nurses who are willing to work extra shifts
This is an example of which type of scheduling?
1. Shared staffing help list
2. The Baylor plan
3. Job sharing
4. Combination plan
Answer: 1
Rationale: The shared staffing help list (SSHL) is a scheduling plan where nurses volunteer to work open shifts that have been identified by nurse managers. A central staffing manager fills the open shifts. The Baylor plan is when nurses are scheduled to work for 12 hours on the weekends, but are paid full-time wages and provided with benefits. A job-sharing plan is when two people share a position that normally would be a full-time position. The combination plan is when the nurse manager uses full-time and part-time staff to create a staffing schedule.
