What does "36-hour night shift" mean? it also says its part time.

how is the schedule for that position?

Specializes in CICU.

For me, it means three 12 hour night shifts per week, 7p-7a.

yes it usually means (3) 12-hour shifts usually 7p-7a

Specializes in Pediatric Cardiology.

It is part-time because anything not 40 hours/week is technically considered part-time.

Specializes in Critical Care.

That depends on the facility. I work 36 hours (3- 12 hour shifts) and it's full-time.

Specializes in SRNA.

Where I work, Part-Time nurses need at least 32 hours per pay period, so they're scheduled one 12-hour shift one week, then two 12-hour shifts the next week, so that's a possibility.

Specializes in Psych.

I would think its 36 hours per pay period over the night shift.

Specializes in Tele, ICU, ED, Nurse Instructor,.

Where I work less than 32 hours a week is part time hours.

At my facility 36 hours is considered full time but to answer your questions I would think it means (3) 12 hour shifts on nights.

Specializes in ED, ICU, MS/MT, PCU, CM, House Sup, Frontline mgr.

it may mean 3 shifts a two week pay period, which is definitely part-time without benefits. most full-time nursing positions are 6 shifts a pay period (36 hours each week to total 72 hours a pay period).

THANK YOU YALL!!!!
