RNs what do your weekly/monthly schedule look like?

[teeheeuhoh]

One of the other threads about scheduling piqued my interest.

I understand every hospital is different and everyone has different schedules but I wanted to see what kind of variation one could expect.

So....RNs:

Are you guys...

full time

part time

casual

also do you have a standard schedule, if yes, what is it, if not, what does your monthly schedule look like?

How many hours are you getting if you're part time/casual?

Is it because you wanted that many hours (for pt/casual) or there are not enough shifts for you?

Though I no longer do, I lived in Canada for 20 years. I am wondering...why are you still rotating shifts?

thanks

Because very few people want to be on permanent nights or evenings. The less desirable shifts are shared. Most rotations are a 50/50 split of shifts and you get into the routine.
