The process for requesting days off can vary depending on the healthcare facility. Generally, nurses should follow these steps:
Check the policy: Understand the facility's policy on requesting time off, including how far in advance requests should be made. Submit a formal request: Use the designated system, whether it's an online portal or a paper form, to submit your request. Communicate with your manager: Inform your supervisor about your request and discuss any potential impacts on staffing and patient care.
