Part III: Creating a Staffing Chart for 4 North Day Shift

Using the FTEs you have determined you need in Part 1, create a staffing plan for a 14 day pay period for the 4 North day shift.

Remember that a nurse who works 36 hours per week (72 hours per pay period) is a 0.9 FTE; 24hrs/week (48 hours per pay period) is a 0.6 FTE; and 12hrs/week (24 hours per pay period) is a 0.3 FTE. Each pay period is 2 weeks, but overtime is accrued after 40 hours each week. Each week runs from Sunday through Saturday. No one can be scheduled in overtime either week.
