How many Hours per Week do you work

just wondering how many hours a week do people work.

[Horseshoe, BSN, RN]

2-3 8 hour shifts per week. Once in a blue moon, 4 shifts.

36 (3 12's.) Like a previous poster stated, i ALWAYS regret picking up a 12, but occassionally i'll work a 16hr (7a-11p) to help out, overtime is lovely!

8 hour shifts 40 hours/wk on orientation then will move to 36 hours/wk after orientation. :)

i work for myself so sometimes it's 10 and sometimes it's 60 hours per week.

what's a princess shift? is that when you go home before the clock strikes midnight?

36-48 hours, plus an on call shift every couple of weeks.

TOO MANY!

48 to 60 depending what's going on, frequently more.

Its not unheard of to get 84 in a week (a lot of folks off sick, I ended up doing 12 hour shifts all 7 days off the week.... plus a few days after the week, but the question was how many hours in a week, so...)

Five 8-hour shifts every two weeks, but I pick up 1-2 shifts per week if I want to.

[Laboratorian]

60. 40 scheduled and I always end up staying way over.

I cannot imagine having the stamina to pull that off.
