Does anyone work 8 hour shifts? It seems like most nurses work 12h nights. Do most of the hospitals requre 12 hours? I hate 12 hours!!!

I have only worked 8 hour shifts. In Montreal, some hospitals are 8, some are 12.

A lot of hospitals have gotten flexible with their staffing (at least ones that i have been in). They had some nurses that worked 12's and some that worked 8's. I would never work 12's personally, i like sticking with the good old 8 hours.

In Bergen County, Valley Hospital still offers 8 hour shifts. Holy Name and Chilton Memorial also offer 8 hour shifts, but I think they are trying to transition everyone to 12's.
