12 hour shifts are usually 7A to 7P, 7P to 7A. Some facilities have variances on this with 6a-6P, 5A-5P, 3A-3P-11A-11P.

it depends on the facility for rotating weekends and are facility specific. Some have you work every other weekend or every third weekend. Either Friday Saturday or Saturday Sunday.

We have mostly 7a-7p, 7p-7a, 3a-3p, 3p-3a, as well as some that do the 11a-11p. Usually you work every other weekend. So if you work this weekend for example, you will be off the following weekend, and so on.

FTE: 1 is full time.

.8 is 80% full time. 8 shifts per pay period in theory.

It all depends on how many weeks are in a shift cycle. Part timers are slotted in where ever they are needed and some lines I've seen you may work more in a two week period and other weeks less.
