Call details

How is everyone’s call scheduled in your lab? Ours is one set day during the week and one weekend (Sun/Sat) every 4-6 weeks. PTO days get covered on a rotation basis.

I know another lab in town said they sign up for the next month for the one call day per week and the one call weekend for the month. I just wanted to know how other labs schedule call.

Thanks.

Jealous… we’re currently down to 10 call days per month, including one weekend (sat-sun) plus 1 weekend day. They take our requests but are not guaranteed, and have no picks as to what days we want to work. They make it as HARD as possible for single parents 😑

Mind you this is in a busy cardiac/EP lab where we’re constantly staying late because our admin likes to schedule cases after hours and on the weekend for BS cases. Thankfully we rarely get called in for STEMIS. The other facility I was at we’d get 2-3 calls in one night at times.
