We even went to our Administrator and all she said was to please read out handbook concerning 'mandatory overtime'. It just seems like theres no one to turn to. No one who even cares.

I just got a job working PRN in a hospital float pool. We have the option to work 4, 8, or 12 hour shifts.

Yeah, I work 2 12hrs and 1 8 and get full time benifits along with making time and a half for the 24hrs. And also get paid 40 dollars extra a week than I would working M-F.

Can't speak for the PCA's at hospitals but the CNA's in LTC facilities around here have the standard 8hr shifts 7a-3p, 3p-11p, 11p-7a. Even the LPN's and RN's in the LTC around here do the standard 8 hr shifts.

I work in LTC, they are 8 hour shifts. 7am-3pm, 3pm-11pm, 11pm-7am.

I would check with your state board of nursing. I know here in PA, they can not legally mandate overtime.
