Voluntary Commitment - Floating Outside Region. Any qualified Nurses who wish to volunteer for floating outside their designated region shall notify the staffing office. Preference among Nurses for a float/reassignment outside the designated region will be made to Nurses who have volunteered a commitment, provided that the assignment is consistent with the competence and skills of the Nurse, including but not limited to such factors as experience, education, and specialty and cross-training opportunities in the assessment of nursing supervision. In making this assessment, the supervisor will seek input from the Nurse and give due weight to the Nurse’s own skills checklist when available. To increase the availability of Nurses qualified to float outside the designated region, the Employer will provide orientation programs to those Nurses who have volunteered a specific commitment. Maintaining and fulfilling a specific commitment to float outside the Nurse’s designated region shall count as a committee/project toward the Nurse’s Clinical Nurse criteria.
