And EVE/NOC which consists of these shifts 12p-12a, 1p-1a, 2p-2a, 3p-3a, 7p-7a. When we hire/offer, these are the shifts that they could be placed. They usually do not bounce around these shifts; however, it makes it easy for us to move them around when the need of the unit or the staff member warrants. When the word MIDS is used, it technically means early mids (7a to the 11a shifts) and late mids (12p to the 7p shifts)." Schedule cycle: 6 weeks in advance for a 6-week schedule
