SchedulingWe asked the nurses to describe how their work is scheduled at the hospital. The vastmajority of respondents (68%) indicated that their work is scheduled according to a masterschedule. The work was self-scheduled for 14% of nurses, and 18% responded that their work isscheduled in another manner. Approximately half of the respondents (49%) prefer to have theirwork determined by a master schedule, 44% prefer self-scheduling, and 7% prefer anothersystem. Of those who work by a master schedule, 63.3% (589 nurses) prefer to have their work
31determined by a master schedule and 35.5% (312 nurses) prefer to self-schedule. Of those whowork by self-scheduling, almost all (95.2% or 179 nurses) prefer to work by self-scheduling.These findings suggest that many nurses would prefer to self-schedule although the largemajority were satisfied or very satisfied with their work schedule [See Table 17].When asked about their reasons for these scheduling preferences, as presented in Table16, the most commonly given response was that “it is easier to plan life outside of work”. Table16 presents the additional reasons cited for scheduling preferences among the nurses in thissample. In addition, we wanted to learn whether or not nurses experienced difficulties inadjusting their work schedule. As presented in Table 18, respondents found adjusting theirschedule when needed and switching shifts with co-workers to be particularly difficult.Furthermore, getting a leave of absence for educational activities or conferences was alsodifficult or very difficult for the survey respondents. The nurses were, however, easily able toget time off from work for personal reasons. In terms of the perceived effects of the collectiveagreement on scheduling, the responses from nurses were generally unfavourable, with only 20percent agreeing that contract language makes scheduling easier [See Table 19].Table 16: Reasons for Schedule PreferenceN (%)*Easier to plan life outside of work1186 (87.9)More control over work hours753 (55.8)Continuity in patient care271 (20.1)Equitable distribution of shifts542 (40.1)Other108 (8.0)*Percentages do not add to 100 because respondents had the option of checking all items that applied.
