PTO

US

this is cross posted in r/nursing hope this is allowed!

hi all, i work in HR and am reviewing PTO benefits for our healthcare organization, we manage care plans and employ RNs and NPs across 40+ states in the US

hoping to understand everyone’s personal take on the typical healthcare time off benefits. i am assuming many of you are on accrual PTO plans that are restrictive due to patient schedules. my background is in long term care so this assumption is from my experience with the LTC time off norms, we got like 20 days off a year, which included holidays.

can you share what your annual time off plans look like, or how many total days off you get a year, and how satisfied you are with it? (is it one plan, or split into vacation and sick buckets, do you have “unlimited” plans? do you earn more as you work for the organization longer? if you have a balance of hours, do you get it all at the beginning of the year?)

interested to hear your takes since it will help me figure out if the benchmarks i’m finding online are actually the norms in the job market. thank you!
