In our small town on the coast of Alaska the price of gas is already 5/gal. and due to the shortage of nurses I would think I could get 16hr.shifts but I cant get anyone to comment to them I have been in nurses 26yrs and understand the dangers of those long shifts, but I have to drive two hrs one way just to get to work over mountain passes, and I have a young son I cannot leave three days a week, due to school and I dont want to take the chance of getting burned out with the drive. Not sure what to do except not work.?
