In addition, RN seniority and status will be considered in scheduling, as follows: When a scheduling conflict arises, regular status (Code 1 and 2) and bid Code 3 seniority will be used to prioritize desirable schedules up to the RN’s budgeted FTEs. On units with established schedules, regular status and bid Code 3 nurses cannot be bumped out of their regular schedule by another nurse. Nurses’ regularly scheduled days will not be changed without mutual consent prior to schedule posting, as long as the schedule can be balanced by available staff. The rotational list will be posted on each unit. The Hospital will maintain its program to facilitate higher seniority RNs to move to lower hour scheduled shifts.
