Your per-diem nurses want Christmas off too. When a nurse calls in sick on a holiday, the plan you wrote in October decides whether you make three phone calls or thirty.

At a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital, the same nurses end up working Christmas every year unless you have a documented rotation system. The A/B/C block method divides nursing staff into three groups that rotate through major holidays on a fixed three-year cycle, so no group draws the same holiday twice in a row.
