Why Internal After-Hours Staffing Is Inefficient

After-hours call volume is inherently uneven. You can't predict when calls will come, but you must have staff ready at all times.

  • Staffing minimums

    You pay for at least 1 RN per hour even when volume is low

  • Holiday premiums

    Premium pay rates for nights, weekends, and holidays add up

  • Turnover costs

    After-hours positions have high turnover requiring constant recruiting

  • Zero slack capacity

    When one nurse is overwhelmed, there's no backup—backlogs cascade
