CNA's - What hours do you work?

[VagusX]

Just wanted to get an idea of what would be a typical shift schedule for a CNA.

Please include your hours per shift, shifts per week, and what type of facility you work in.

Thanks!

You have so many options. I work 3-11 and I am casual every other weekend while I am in nursing school. With being casual, I am guaranteed every other weekend, and can sign up for any available slots. that way i can control my schedule. I love 3-11, its less hectic..I am currently at a rehab ctr, 60 bed unit.

I just got a job at a hospital and will be part time 20 hours a week rotating 3-11 and 11-7.

Do you work weekends?

Yep, every other Saturday and Sunday. Sometimes pick up on my weekend off, as well, if needed.

If I choose to work every weekend, how many hours on weekdays do I need to be a full time employee?

[Dorali, BSN, LPN, RN]

Our shifts are 6a-2p 2p-10p 10p-6a.

Day shift and evening shift work Monday through Friday.

Nights are 4 on 2 off.

Then, there is a weekend crew that works double shifts 6a-10p on Saturday and Sunday. I guess that's why nights is 4 on 2 off.

With budget the way it is right now there is no Baylor pay or overtime, but I work day shift Monday through Friday and get my 40 hours.

This is in LTC.

That depends on your facility. Some places consider 32 hours full time, so if you worked the weekend and two other days each week, you would be full time. However, some facilities only consider 40 hours full time, in which case you'd have to work 3 other days per week.

This is, of course, with 8 hour shifts. Some facilities let you work 3 12 hour shifts a week and be considered full time. But every place is different, so you'd have to talk to your employer about that.

[fuzzywuzzy, CNA]

At my nursing home we have 8-hour shifts. 32 hours a week is considered full time, and everyone has to work at least every other weekend. If you call off on your weekend, you have to work your next weekend off.

There have been a *few* exceptions to our routine- people who work 7a-7p every weekend or people who work every Sunday and have every Saturday off, but those are few and far between.

I HATE working every other weekend. I can't wait until I am finished with school and have another career (I'll probably be like 75 by then but whatever ) and I can have every weekend off like a normal person.
