Nurses Bid on Night Shifts | Durham News

UNC Health’s new BidShift system lets nurses bid on extra weekend and night shifts with premium pay that drops as the shift nears — aiming to cut last-minute chaos and reduce reliance on pricey travel nurses. While the hospital says it preserves regular pay and prioritizes skill needs, critics fear it turns nursing into a competitive auction, risking workplace tension and normalizing gig-like dynamics. Unions and nurses online call it a cost-cutting ploy that undermines teamwork — though UNC insists feedback will shape improvements.
