    I work two day 12 hours and two overnight 12 hours. So 48 a week if I do not get called in to cover someone.

    35 hours a week. I wanted less than that but they only had FT avail. No complaints though because I LOVE my job. I also like the schedule of two on two off and I can work more in a row if I want a week off for a vacay.

    We are always short and have to bring in nurses from the float pool. Just hired 8 more for our unit.

    I'd really like to reduce my hours a bit, but we are always short. I'm averaging 36 hours a week, sometimes more.

    true. no matter how we wish to cut working hours, we have to work extra especially when we are understaffed..

    I work between 50-80 hours/week. I love my job, I love OT, I'm still young, no kids, no significant other. I enjoy the fact that in a few years I will have enough for a large down payment on a house because of not having a life . Maybe that sounds sad, but when male counterparts do it, they are praised. So long as I'm not burning out, I figure its all systems go

    we have no choice but to work on irregular shifts since hospitals run a 24/7 operation..

    I usually work 13-14 hours a day, x3 days. I almost always get a text from my DON on my days off, "Can you come in and work tomorrow from 6-6?". If I wanted to, I could probably work 6-7 days a week, not kidding. I work in skilled physical rehab. Other nurses are always requesting days off, or they need extra help d/t admits/discharges.
