OR Shift Question


I am hoping to do three days a week schedule when I get out of nursing school, does the OR do this shift very much? Thanks

Default Re: OR Shift Question
Most of the folks I work with are 8hr shifts. There are a few 10hrs and 2-3 12 hrs. The longer shifts require at least 1yr in the OR, but those wanting the longer shift with most seniority get it.

We're split pretty evenly between 8, 10, and 12 hour shifts. Only the most senior people do 2 or 3 8's. All other 3 day/week shifts are 12 hour shifts.

We have 8, 10 & 12's also, the shift is part of the job opening. If someone already working wants a new position they get it first, but we hire to aal positions. Good luck.....

We only have 8's and 10's, but we all rotate through them.

most of the nurses in the OR I'm interning in have 2-3 12-hour shifts, one 8-hour shift, and then a 8-hour shift with possible overtime.
