Winnipeg RN schedules?

They'll be different in each hospital. Pick a facility and maybe you'll get more informative responses than this one.

I worked in an ICU at the Health Sciences Centre; we worked 12 hour shifts, Th-F-Sa-Su nights, Th-F days, M-Tu-W days, Sa-Su days, M-Tu-W nights then a week off.

Sorry for a really greenhorn question, do you mean:

week 1 Th,F,Sa,Su night
week 2 Th-F nights
week3 M-Tu-Wed days,
week 4- Sa,Su days,
week 5- M-Tu-Wed night
week6 off?


Thanks!

No, what it actually works out to is a four week rotation, 12 hour shifts:
Week 1: Thur-Fri-Sat Nights
Week 2: Sun Night, Thur-Fri Days
Week 3: Mon-Tues-Wed-Sat Days
week 4 Sun Day, Mon-Tues-Wed Nights
then off till the following Thursday night. Every sixth week we'd get a shift dropped to give us the required number of hours for full time. (40 X 12 hour shifts in 12 weeks.)

Thanks for clarifying that!
