Feedback:
Variations of a scheduling plan called the Baylor Plan exist at many facilities. The nurse usually works 3 days over every weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). In most cases, either a bonus is paid to the weekend-only nurses or the nurse working part time is paid a full-time wage. This allows the nurse time off during the week.
