Hello, my name is Melissa Lamb, and I'm here to talk to you about scheduling in the care coordination department. We work Monday through Friday. Our main shifts are during the weekday. However, we have weekend shifts available also. We have the three 12 hour shifts and that is available if you work Saturday, Sunday, and one other day during the week. We have an option of some four, 10 hour shifts. The day would vary depending on the coverage needed for that unit of what day you would be off. We have part-time positions. We have some different hours in the morning, you know, starting around seven, usually 8:30 to 5:30 or six. However, we can make a schedule that works with you and your family. The holidays we normally schedule a few days off before the holiday or two days after the allow everyone to spend time with their family. Thank you.

Day in the life of a float pool nurse. I will head to the house coordinator's office in the morning on my scheduled day. I will pick up my assignment sheet. It'll tell me where I'm going, which is basically wherever the hospital is needing a nurse for staffing and to take care of patients. Sometimes it's the ER, sometimes it's different floors. I will then head to that floor, check in with the charge nurse, get my assignment from them for the day, get reports. My manager will come around on me once, sometimes twice. Make sure we're okay. And we always have their phone number that we can call if we have an issue. After I work on the floor, I will give reports, stop by the house coordinator's office on the way home, and clock out and do it again the next day. Always something different, which is great.
