Any hospitals out there doing 8 hr shifts?

(votes: 8)


All the hospitals in my area staff with 12 hour shifts only. Does anyone work in a hospital that does 8 hour shifts? If so, which area of the country are you in?
I have a couple of friends who are nurses who do 8 hour shifts in California and Ohio. In California, there are even short-hour(4 hour) shifts. Good luck on finding a suitable working situation!

We have 8 hr shifts in the form of 7on/7off. It works for some people but not for all. I'm in Alabama

Ontario Canada. 12s and 8s.Some positions are all 8s, some are all 12s and some are a mixture.We also some 10s and 4s.

Comment:
The floor I work does 12's BUT there is at least one floor in the hospital that does strict 8 hour shifts..the nurse manager on that floor does not like 12's because he does not feel it is safe (he may have a point!) The entire hospital is trying to convert to 12 hour shifts..I work in Northern Illnois

Comment:
I live in Oregon and we have 8 hour shifts for floor nurses, 12's for ICU and 10's for ER. And we have a good union

Comment:
Madison WI - 8's seem to be pretty common here.

Comment:
Arkansas---12, 8 and the truly beautiful and magnificent 4 hour. The 4 hours are great because they are usually only 6 hours.

Comment:
We only hire in 4-8's a week. If a 12 hours position opens up and you want it, you can move into it based on seniority.
