Nurses on layoff who are qualified and who have notified the Hospital of a desire to pick up extra shifts shall be given the first opportunity, when possible, to work additional shifts as needed before such shifts are offered to Reserve Nurses or regular part-time and full-time nurses as “extra” shifts (above their FTE). However, regular part-time and full-time nurses will have the first opportunity to pick up hours up to their current assigned FTE. Thereafter, to the extent possible, such shifts will be offered to qualified nurses on layoff in order of seniority up to but not exceeding the nurse’s number of scheduled hours before layoff. An offer to work additional shifts shall not be considered a recall. Agency nurses will be utilized as a last resort.
