A Great Fit: Balancing Work and Life

Having a work-life balance is part of our overall nursing philosophy at UI Hospitals & Clinics. We make good on that aim by putting scheduling into the hands of our nurses themselves.

Our inpatient units offer a self-scheduling option, where staff have the ability to build their schedules in advance. Our nurse managers are committed to working with you to find a schedule that fits your unique needs.

The Iowa Difference: Flexible Schedules

Examples of flexible scheduling options for UI Health Care nurses.

  • Working two 12-hour shifts each weekend and getting paid at a 90 percent rate
  • Self-scheduling your shifts so you can group days together and have longer periods off
  • Working on an hourly basis to pick up available times that meet your schedule
  • Selecting a part-time position that’s 20 or 24 hours per week
