Voluntary Availability List. SMMC shall maintain on each nursing unit a voluntary availability list for each schedule period. The availability list shall be separate from the “needs” list currently being utilized at SMMC. Nurses who want to be contacted to work extra time shall sign the list in advance of the day(s) they are making themselves available for work. If there are emergent circumstances on a shift or portion of a shift, SMMC may contact the nurses on the voluntary availability list (using the current phone number on file in the Staffing Office (which the nurses must keep updated)) as part of its efforts to obtain additional staff as set forth above. Simultaneously, SMMC may contact per diem nurses to obtain additional staff, and SMMC will utilize whichever nurse(s) respond, on a first-come, first-served basis, to fill the need.
