Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 We have switched our full time acute care therapists to a 4 10 hour day schedule. They love the schedule, and it allows me more flexibility as I don't need to schedule as many people on for the same day since their shifts are longer. The only issue that arises is when we have a low census and they need to leave early they lose more hours. But overall it has been a positive change for us.
