 What's up y'all? It's Adana. So I recently did a video not too long ago about do I sleep on a 24-hour shift and I just kind of showed you a quick vlog of like a day in the life of a 24-hour shift like on called trauma PA. And so I know that it's a little bit hard to kind of grasp the concepts of everything but the question was asked like how do my hours really work? And so that is what I'm going to be answering for you today. Okay so I had this question asked by one of you all and so again if you haven't already done so subscribe, leave your comments, like my videos because it really really helps out my YouTube algorithm and so I will really appreciate it if you can do that. But Adriana Bevelaqua, I hope I said that right, she said you mentioned patients come may come in when you're about to get off your shift. How does that count towards your hours? Do you work less on the next shift? And so you know I said that we are hourly, I work 72 hours essentially in a 14-day period which equates to 324s. That's what we're obligated to work. Obviously we can work more. We don't get your traditional overtime so I don't get paid like time and a half or double time. If I go over my 72 hours I just get paid my regular rate. And so when it comes to if there is a patient that is coming in while I'm about to come off because it never fails like literally you are it's maybe seven o'clock in the morning. Sign out for the patients from like the night before that we may have been seeing or all the patients that on the floor that we were dealing with we would go to sign out and sign those patients out to the oncoming team at 7.30. So up until 7.30 like you're still essentially like the PA right you're the one that's still managing any new traumas that comes in. Because you know you can't expect people to take the shift that they're now coming in on like it's not it's not that it's expected even though they still do it okay so I just want to make that clear like we have a great team of trauma PA so they help out that we work really well together but I just want to let you know that it's not necessarily like they have to be the ones that are taking this trauma. So if a trauma is called at 7.75 and I was in the trauma bay or it's my turn to get the next trauma late I have to run downstairs and start running this trauma. Now like I said the oncoming team will absolutely come in and help out because they're gonna be managing the trauma throughout the rest of the day once I go home. But no like typically it starts off with me. Does that mean that I work less on the next shift? No I'm there for 24 hours at a minimum okay at minimum I'm there for 24 hours. So if I work you know 27 hours on one shift it doesn't mean that now I deduct that from my oncoming shift. I still work my full 24-hour shift on the next shift that I will have and if I so happen to get off later or on time then so be it you know I'll get paid for the time that I work but it's it doesn't work that way in terms of like it's stickler for you only work 72 hours and that's it because you never know what can happen on a trauma call shift okay you people do things like some people do stupid things some people just have accidents and because of that you you have to be on call and you have to be ready and available so thank you so much for asking me this question but yeah no I don't get a shortened time and honestly I don't need it because again I'm only working three times in a 14-day pay period like that's amazing you know and I love that so I'm able to just kind of relax I'll take if I have to work 28 hours one day and then I still get a full five days off I'm good to go okay so I love it so thank you so much I'm trying for asking me that question again leaving your comments and questions in the comment section below please you guys like this video YouTube algorithm will love you for it so will I follow me on Instagram edit on the PA go ahead and subscribe to this channel and follow me on Instagram I get that see university as well I will talk to you guys next time
