A Baylor Shift signifies a certain period of work in practical nursing. The Baylor Shift occurs commonly during low-staffed weekend hospital hours. A nurse during this shift agreement may oblige to work two shifts of 16 hours on Saturday and Sunday. The hospital then compensates for 40 hours of work in place of the 36 hour salary. A nurse may also work for two consecutive 12 hour shifts. This
. marks a less traditional form of the Baylor shift. However, nurses working two 12 hours shifts may receive compensation for a total of 36 hours of time. In addition to nursing, all fields of practical medicine may choose to work in Baylor Shifts. Though less common, Radiologists and certified technicians, as well as specialized nurses may opt to work in a form of the Baylor Shift. Baylor Shift nursing may hold specific advantages for hospital workers. Many see the Baylor Shift as a practical way to gain a greater salary through less hours of work. However, this special shift may also provide convenience around a busy schedule. Baylor shift nurses may use the opportunity to work on the weekend, while a spouse enjoys time off from work. This may eliminate any child care costs. In addition, an entirely weekend shift may provide necessary time for college attendance. Recent changes to the Baylor Shift include the optional addition of employee benefits. Traditionally, Baylor Shift working nurses may or may not hold rights to benefits such as health insurance, paid vacation or supplemental employee sick days. Nurses may currently find entitlement to such benefits more favorable due to the nature of the full time salary paid. The discretion traditionally lies with the hospital on whether or not to provide such benefits to Baylor Shift workers. However, the trend currently lies with providing these benefits rather than not. http://www.jobpath.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/RecommendedJobs.aspx?exjob=true&job_did=JHN3605ZD4XWNYDPL35 or http://nationaljobs.washingtonpost.com/a/all-jobs/list/q-baylor+registered+nurse
