From the department: "If they are willing to work an acute weekend 1–2 while here, we would take that as well. On call on Saturday 0700–1200 and Sunday 0700–1100. Only see ortho neuro and safety discharge patients; this is not a deal breaker for us, but some travelers have wanted to work a couple weekends, and this takes the burden off the perm team."
