[Dysphagia] to my pediatric colleagues

[SLEdgar at LancasterGeneral.org (Edgar, Sheri L)]

I worked at an acute care hospital and we provide services 7 days a
week.  I have 1 therapist here on Saturday's and Sunday's.  Weekly I
have any where from 3-4 therapists.  On the weekends we focus on any new
consults and/or patients evaluated on Friday and are placed NPO as well
as any inpatient rehab patients that need the intensity of therapy over
the weekend.  I do not use per diem staff, I give them a day off before
the weekend and a day off after the weekend.  Hope this helps.

Hi!
I am a slp at a pediatric hospital that provides services on the
weekend.  Just curious if anyone else working in a hospital setting
provides services on the weekend as well and if you do, are per diem
services utilized? If they are, do you have any specific guidelines or
requirements?

Thanks!
