HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied

Staffing cancels a nurse's scheduled shifts after they pick up extra shifts to avoid overtime, potentially reducing their hours below their FTE and discouraging them from volunteering for extra work.

The hospital's scheduling system cannot reconcile volunteer overtime with core FTE obligations without penalizing nurses who take extra shifts.
