Can anyone tell me about units doing 32hours/week? Particularly interested in what the rotation is like, particularly for 8 hour shifts 7 day a week 24/7.
It really depends entirely on the facility you work for and their weekend requirements.IN the old days...we only worked 8 hour shifts. We rotated 1 week of days, one week of evenings, and one week of nights. We worked every other weekend So you could work Sun: OffMon: DaysTues: DaysWed: OffThurs: DaysFri: OffSat: DaysSun: EveningsMon: OffTues: eveningsWed: offThurs: eveningsFri: eveningsSat: OffSun: off (but you go out that night for...)Mon: nightsTues: nightsWed: nightsThurs: OffFri: nights (finish up Friday morning...this depends on if the facility has nights as shift one or shift three)Sat: OffSun: offMon: DaysTues: DaysWed: OffThurs: DaysFri: OffSat: Daysand the process continues.Seldom does any facility have a real set scheduled for any one nurse. The schedule will vary according to needs, vacations, LOA's and on specialty units...experience and certification levels. Holidays will change your "schedule" as well for everyone takes their turn.Dos this help? I hated rotating and days was always locked up when I was new. I went to straight evening and also nights.

I work 32 hour days in a community hospital tele floor, 8 hour shifts. I always have 2 weekdays off and work every other weekend. My weekdays off are never the same. Just an example, my schedule the next two weeks is as follows:Sunday: onMonday: onTuesday: OFFWednesday: onThursday: onFriday: OFFSaturday:OFFSunday: OFFMonday: onTuesday: onWednesday: OFFThursday: OFFFriday: onSaturday: onBut, as I said... no rhyme or reason was to which weekdays I have off!
