Q: DND mode- can it let in calls only?

I am a casual nurse, and the only way I get work is when I get called. I need to go to sleep at night, knowing that if there is a call for a shift, I will get it! and so I turn on Do Not Disturb. ..But that turns off my call notification. I want to be able to receive calls while on DND, but not have any other notification (text, Facebook, email, etc) make a sound or light up the screen. Is this possible..???

Thanks for any help I can get!!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.2

This does not answer my question. I know I can set it to DND between a certain time frame, and choose what contacts are allowed to call, and I know the repeated call option. My problem is, I never know what number the call from work is going to come from. It comes from a central scheduling office, and there are multiple phones and numbers in that office I could get a call from. I just want to set it to let calls in, but no other notifications. ..I had it figured out with my old iPhone 4, but I can't remember how I did it, or if the same feature is available on the iPhone 5s..!!! >:(
