We have agreed to a new 36 hour workweek for RN’s working in 24/7 hospitals at MDH. This new workweek will include full salary and benefits for nurses working three 12 hour shifts per week. There are eligibility requirements for nurses who wish to apply for the new 36 hour work week. While this new workweek is currently limited to RN’s working shift work in 24/7 hospitals at MDH, we hope to expand this program during full contract negotiations in the fall of 2020.
