If you can’t work the traditional hospital shifts of 7 a.m.-3 p.m., 3 p.m.-11 p.m., or 11 p.m.-7 a.m., Baptist Memorial Health Care still has an important place for you.
Many of Baptist's nurses work non-traditional shifts. Baptist has caring, tenured
staff to assist you in the transition into your unit and many resources available to help you advance your skill level and abilities as your career at Baptist progresses.
Notice what Baptist nurses have to say about the flexibility in scheduling Baptist offers:
"My husband has been in nursing school for two years and I thought it would be a nightmare to
work around his needs," says Blair Anderson, an RN in the labor and delivery unit at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women in Memphis, Tenn. "The committee responsible for my schedule
has been more than accommodating to my crazy requests. We have been able to keep our 'out of home' childcare
to a minimum and it has been so awesome! I have only high praise for the flexible scheduling available in my unit!"
"We are all busy trying to manage family and work," says Susie Reed of the ICU staff at
Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in Southaven, Miss. "I have found the secret to a balanced life. Flexible scheduling allows me to attend activities with my children and husband, who are my highest priorities. Flexible scheduling ensures my loyalty."

Shift flexibility also helps managers maintain positive relationships with their busy
nursing staffs, according to Donna Price, the head nurse at Baptist's Women’s Hospital.

"From a manager’s standpoint, flexible scheduling is a great plus for my staff," Price
says. "They can schedule appointments and work around sitter schedules. This makes
the hustle and bustle of being a parent and working full time a lot easier."
