Two of the nurses (Mary and Tom) at Riverview UCC have decided to work part time rather than their previous full-time schedule. Each prefers to work only two (consecutive) days per week. Once they become part-time employees, salary and benefits per nurse-day for these nurses will be reduced to $160 on weekdays and $220 on weekend days. Considering this savings, Riverview UCC can hire an additional full-time nurse if needed. Should Riverview UCC agree to the two nurses request? If the clinic agrees, will additional nurses need to be hired? Assuming that part-time nurses and any new hires accept any schedule offered by Riverview UCC and that preferences for the remainder of the nurses are the same as stated in the chapter, what new schedule would you recommend for each nurse? *** PLEASE PROVIDE EXPLANATION*** THANK YOU !!!

Maximum of 2 part-time nurses
