but the question is

do those people work 24/7 365? Spent a lot of years working in hospitals of various sizes, from smaller regional to large teaching, in a different field and didn't have to work every weekend. Rotated weekends, holidays, call, etc., and well compensated for it. I didn't know anyone, from doctors to cleaning staff, who worked every weekend or one weekend day every week unless they chose to and were hired on as such. Were actually docs who flew in at a couple of the hospitals as relief staff for weekends, holidays. I maybe had to work an occasional back-to-back shift, rotate shifts, take call every 10 days or so, holidays, goes with the territory, but was never required to work every weekend. I just don't understand the rationale behind that and why it seems such a problem to get work out, just easier to require a weekend day every week? Pretty tough to plan a weekend away or time with family. JMHO
