I work 12 hours shifts for the most part, although an occasional 8 floats my way. I was wondering if the rest of you like 12 hour shifts and why or what you don't like about them. The one drawback is when they are back to back, it seems I just sleep, eat and get back in my car.
I love 12 hour shifts! I worked 8s at a clinic when I first graduated and much prefer to work 3 days than 5 days per week. I like it when they are back to back because it means I am going to have back to back days off and sometimes I get 5 day and even 6 day weekends! My hospital is so small and I stay so busy that the time really flies~!
I hated 12 hour shifts, but every once in while would like more days off. I think, actually a weekly combination of 2-12s and an 8 would work best for me.
