Shift and unit preference Sample Clauses

Shift and unit preference. A nurse who is unsuccessful during the trial period shall also retain preference over all other applicants to return to open positions on the nurse’s original shift and retain in-unit seniority in the nurse’s previous nursing unit for a one-year period. This preference shall begin as of the date the nurse leaves the program or orientation within the time parameters specified above, and shall end as soon as the nurse accepts a position in his or her unit and shift. During this time, the nurse may separately exercise one shift bid and one unit preferential bid. If returned to his or her unit within this period, the nurse’s in-unit seniority shall be restored.
