Work at home: On Call Duty

On call duty? Again? as i said to my husband. We all know that mostly on call are residents in the hospitals. On call simply means that although you are not scheduled for that day that they can call you to come in during that time period if they need you to so you need to have a phone or whatever so thay can call you if necessary.

Residents on call stay in the hospital over night caring for patients on their team, other teams, and new admissions. A typical intern works every seconds of the day for a quite a period of time with almost no sleep or more. Though this tradition, it allows interns to see the amount of patients necessary to complete their program and provides the hospital with after-hour patient care. Alternatively, residents may leave the hospital but all their phones are alive to be prepared to return immediately if needed.

That is what we usually know. But now a days. Not only residents form the hospitals. Public and private offices like in the IT industry, Telecommunication company also experiencing or practicing this. Less office office, less traffic, less people and less hassle to food and the boss. This is only my opinion. My job also also a 24/7 duties, meaning shifting. hehehehe This weekend my husband experience another "maaction" weekend, because he is the on-call duty for this weekend. Well, another whole week. On call based are some doing it at home. Less all the efforts.
