We, the nurses and nursing assistants of Banner Health, petition those responsible for implementing the assigned weekend schedules effective January of 2020.
To date, we have enjoyed the autonomy of being able to self schedule. The demands of our job already leave much out of our control, so being able to have control of our schedule was empowering.
We are now forced to work days we may not be able to, or days that may conflict with our schedules outside of work. More importantly than that, this sweeping decision was made without taking into consideration the voice of your most valued employees, those working the frontlines of healthcare for Banner, who are directly impacted by this change.
We demand that our voice be heard, that our self scheduling remain autonomous, and that we are taken into consideration for any future sweeping changes directly affecting us, your frontline employees.

I recently transitioned to BSS for true schedule freedom and while it’s not the same work wise, I could not go back as a full or part employee with Banner due to this very reason. So sadly when I’m ready to make that move Banner will no longer be an option. I agree with the above comment, this change is not Magnet, and a great work environment takes the voice of its employees to make changes.
I believe strongly that as a Magnet facility, we should have an ACTUAL voice and not a pretend one. Sophia is important but so are the Nurses and Nursing assistants that are the heartbeat of this organization. We should be given the same if not better courtesy. 100% supportive
Really disappointed in this turn of events. I came to Banner for the flexibility and now it feels like that is gone.
This is ridiculous. We already work crazy shifts and now they want to take away the one thing that helps us manage our home lives. Keep our schedules our own!
RETENTION IS ALREADY AN ISSUE. Good luck keeping staff when you treat us like we are robots instead of people with lives. Stop this now.
This will demoralize morale.
Staff should choose thier own schedule to balance their work and personal life.

As a nursing student and future RN this news that nurses aren’t not being treated fairly with giving them a choice of when they can work is concerning and disheartening. Banner was always the top of my list to apply for a RN position but knowing that nurses are not having the right to choose their own schedule has me second guessing choosing Banner as a place of employment. Nurses should be in the top priority at all hospitals they work so hard and love their jobs.
