Healthcare professionals who support strike (both nursing and allied) are crucial to maintaining patient care. Strike healthcare professionals fill gaps during labor disruptions for healthcare systems.

There is no standard duration for a strike assignment. It could be one day, five days or even an indefinite timeframe. Flexibility and patience are important traits for anyone who is interested in strike staffing.

During a strike or labor disruption, the hospital is desperate for help to continue patient care. Flexibility is the key to success. Strike healthcare professionals can often be expected to work up to five or six 12-hour shifts in a week. It is unlikely you will be able to request certain shifts, as the goal is for healthcare professionals to fill in where needed.
Supporting strikes can be quite tense. It is important to remember that while you may have a great deal of empathy for your fellow healthcare professionals as you cross the picket line, strike healthcare professionals have a responsibility to the patients inside, and their need for care doesn’t stop due to labor disputes.

You must pass a drug screen of the ten controlled substances before working, including Marijuana. If you take any prescribed medications where you believe you may test positive on a 10-panel drug test, (I.e - if you take prescribed medications) please be prepared to present your doctor’s recommendation, as well as the prescription bottle for review on-site or remotely with the Medical Review Officer (MRO).
