Double Back Assignments. Nurses shall normally be scheduled for shifts that will minimize the amount of double back assignments. Exceptions to this scheduling may be made by agreement between the facility and the nurse concerned, or, in cases of emergency/unavoidable situations where the application of this scheduled pattern would have the effect of depriving patients of needed nursing service. Exceptions to the patterns of scheduling may be made by mutual agreement between the nurse and the supervisor provided that such change does not result in the payment of overtime.
