I am a recent PN graduate and am taking NCLEX the end of the month. I am also returning to school for my RN, BSN in the fall. I will be attending school full-time during the week and, as a single mom, need to also work full-time. I needed to know if anyone could help me with what hours I can schedule on the weekends that would be considered full-time. 0 Likes
canchaser, BSN, RN Specializes in ICU. Jan 6, 2011 3- 12 hour shifts is one idea as long as 36 hours is full time. When I was a LPN, I worked 16 hours on sat and Sunday, then an 8 Hr on Monday. This equaled 40 hours. See what your new employer says. 0 Likes
Mrs. Sparkle Pants Jan 6, 2011 Depends on your childcare situation, but overnight friday, saturday, and sunday would be 3 12 hour shifts. 0 Likes
jnrsmommy Specializes in LTC/Rehab,Med/Surg, OB/GYN, Ortho, Neuro. Jan 7, 2011 Some hospitals and LTC facilities utilize a Baylor program. Work 16hrs Sat and Sun but get paid for 40. If you miss a shift on the weekend, you don't get the whole 40hrs. Know lots of nurses that work this. 0 Likes
