Friday, October 1 Info & Logistics
If you are scheduled to work at Mercy Hospital
- Go to work. At 6am, leave work through the front door.
- Consider parking on the street instead of in the garage. If you park in the garage you must move your car by 6:30am. If you do not move your car by 6:30am, you will have to pay to move it.
- It’s the employer’s responsibility to have someone to cover your patients. They are required to have nursers there for handoff. If for some reason there is no one to cover your patients, please call the 1133 office at (716) 828-1133. There will be someone at the office beginning at 5am to take your call and put you in touch with someone nearby at the hospital who can help.
If you are off work
- Be at the front of Mercy at 6am. Wear scrubs or bring out the red!
