Come on VA nurses, does your VA work 12's? If so tell me about how it works.
Hey all, I was thinking about getting a job at the VA when I move back to Florida. Only problem is every VA I checked with says their facility does not offer flex time, 36 hour work weeks, and most only have 8 hour shift?Is this the case with most VA's? If so I might have to rethink things a little.
My clinical instructor told me that the VA in Mid-Michigan has both 8-hr shifts and 12-hr shifts. She said that she used to work 8-hrs but decided that working 12's would be more feasible; so now, she works 3 12-hr shifts. I'm not exactly sure of how the whole system works; hopefully, someone who knows more will post something. Hope that helped in some way.

I'm a student doing clinicals at a VA Hospital in MA. A nurse in the PACU told me that she and others do three 12 hour shifts a week. However, I'm not sure if that is the case for all of the units in that particular VA.
