I work for a facility where all ancillary staff is 12 hours, This type of shift may not be cost effective for your nursing home but if you bring it up in a staff meeting and then collect enough signatures from fellow CNA's it might happen. The only issue I foresee is the 3-11 shift, How many of them are willing to swing days and how many willing to swing nights. Also now that you are 12 hours when will full-time begin at 36 or the usual 40? This is an administration issue, just bring it up and mention how interested you are. best of luck!
Most nursing homes in my area have 12-hr shifts got CNA's, as well as the hospitals for PCT's. I'm not sure how to make that happen but I do know it's common (at least in my area).
Ugh. That should be "for", not "got". Sorry.

I think the nice thing about having a variety of 8 & 12 hour shifts is that you can accommodate more of the CNA's and allow for more flexibility in scheduling. I like this idea of collecting signatures, as it would show that there is a definite interest in this sort of change before taking it to the administration. Good luck!

Is that possible to implement a 12-hr work shift for CNA in long term care (nursing home/ skilled center/rehab). If you facility has one please share. May be 12-hr with a few overlap 8-hr during busy time of the day??? Thank you!
