Do any Acute Care dialysis nurses get a part time job doing something else so they can make sure they always get 36-48 hours a week? Im thinking about doing this to make up the difference. I just started at one of the big two.

most times if the hours are short in Acutes, you can make up the difference in the local clinic. Our clinics are almost always looking for some help.

The acute nurses at the hospitals in my area work at least 12 hours a day. I am at hospital now and there is no shortage of hours. I came from a chronic clinic where it depended on the clinic (staffing and census) whether or not nurses got their 40 hours. I have not seen a shortage of hours for nurses at any hospital. That's odd.
thats good to know. im new to this so maybe i shouldn't worry about getting hours
