Your questions about full-time healthcare jobs, answered

How many hours a week is a full-time healthcare job?

Usually 36 to 40, though 32 and 30 both appear. 30 is the one to know: it's the point at which a large employer has to offer health coverage under federal rules, and some employers put their full-time line exactly there.

What does FTE mean in a job posting?

Your schedule counted against a full one. 1.0 is full, 0.5 is half. What that means in days depends on the shift: at 8 hours a day 0.8 is 4 days out of 5, while three 12-hour shifts a week comes to 0.9. Benefits eligibility is worked out from the FTE.

Do full-time healthcare jobs include nights and weekends?

That depends on the building. Hospitals and nursing homes never close, so a full-time line there usually carries nights, weekends, or a rotation through both. Clinic and retail schedules follow opening hours.

Can per diem or part-time work lead to a full-time job?

It often does. Managers fill full-time lines from people already working the unit, so per diem and part-time shifts put you in front of the person who does the hiring.
