What crazy ER hours do you work?

by nursebrandie28 Platinum Member

Hey my fellow trauma cats!!

I was asked to take a 5p-1a shift, instead of my 11a-11p shift and i was wondering do any of you guys work 'odd' hours and how to do you like it.....

I love the 11-11 shift, because I have no kids and when I get off, I can go out and not have to get up early in the am.....

I work 3p-3a, weekends only. LOVE IT I also work 11-11, and don't like it as much. With 3-3, I can have most of my Saturday, sleep in, and go back to work the next day. Monday mornings stink, but I just force myself out of bed by 11, and get going.
5-1 sounds awesome. Will you be doing 5 of these? We don't have any nurse shifts that are 5-1, but several secretaries do it, and seem to be happy with it. I think it sounds like the best of both worlds myself.

I used to do a 7p-3a shift. I loved it until I got married. Doesn't work very well with a family. I have worked 11a-11p and I don't like that one. Seems like my whole day is shot; the only good thing is not having to get up before dawn for that one.

I work 3p-3a during the week, 7a-7p or 11a-11p on weekends. This allows my husband and I to be able to raise our kids without daycare. I am exhausted all the time, and never get out on time, but it works.

I am working 3 am to 3:30 pm. However, we are fazing them out now. Going back to 8 hour shifts. I have three children and was not getting enough sleep. could go to bed after they did, didn't leave much time for sleeping. Beleive it or not I developed some arrythmias, pvc's and short burst of v-tach, {after much testing} and the cardiologist feels it is because I am stressing my body too much! Has this ever happened to anyone else? I said I don't feel stressed, I can still run, I eat healthy, etc...He said that you are stressing your body and this is how it is warning you to make a change.
HMMM.. guess the old saying stress kills is true!!
