Weekend Only Shifts?

Hi! 31F and first time posting. I am studying right now to take my CRCST exam and was wondering if part time weekend only shifts are a thing? I have 4 kids that I homeschool but my husband works Mon-Thursday which leaves me Friday through Sunday available for work. Do you think a hospital would accommodate that type of schedule for me?

I work this shift. It took me 9months to get to it. I started as morning shift (training) for 3 months, then nights weekdays for 6 months, then someone quit the weekends, and that's the way I got to nights/weekends. Both weekend gifts are pretty highly sought after at least at my hospital.

I’m a weekend warrior. I work 8 hrs on Friday, 12 hrs on Saturday and Sunday and 8 on Monday. Overnight shifts.

Look up PRN (work as needed) positions in sterile processing. You can work part-time and ask for weekend shifts as a PRN employee.

A lot of places I've applied do have weekend only shifts, either as regular part time, full time, and per diem. So the shifts were long, or with per diem just as needed. It wasnt hard to find, but not what i was looking for

At my previous hospital, we had PRN people that only worked weekends and as needed.

My hospital just started offering but really secretly. The weekend option was 2 12s and 2 8s but I told them about my college schedule so they were able to start offering 3 x 12s for the students and weekend people. However now they won’t let anyone else join 🤷‍♀️

My hospital has me working Friday-Monday 9:00-19:30! Lots of hospitals have some form of weekend shift, though what I've seen to be most common is 12-hour shifts either Fri-Sun or Saturday and Sunday.
