From the information given,there are 32 weeks of vacation (40 hours ´ 32 weeks = 1280 hours),11 days of education (11 days ´ 8 hours = 88 hours),15 days of orientation (15 days ´ 8 hours = 120 hours),and 18 days of sick time anticipated (18 days ´ 8 hours = 144)or 1280 + 88 + 120 + 144 = 1632 hours of non-productive time.This will leave 10,848 hours of productive time available,based on the information available and the fact that the manager is not anticipating sick time for RN 6 in the upcoming budget year.
