To foster
professionalism, CCA’s are hired for a specific unit and required to
work every other weekend to equal a minimum of 16 hours/pay period
unless otherwise authorized by the CSM.

responsible for CCA scheduling. CCA’s request for schedule changes must

to fulfill work commitments on unit of assignment prior to working on
other units. The Staffing Office may be called for available shifts on

after 6 months. The Nurse Recruitment Office will facilitate transfers
based on availability and placement on wait list.

CCA’s are
encouraged to seek out learning opportunities and communicate needs with
staff. However, since the CCA is an employee not student position, CCA

to receive a promotion based on annual review.
