12 hour shifts are wonderful. You work almost exclusively for 3 days straight and have no life, but the pay off is the 4, sometimes even 5 or 6 days off in a row. You can travel or have a mini holiday without using all your annual leave. 5
If you have little ones it doesn't work as well, especially if you don't have good day care.

That we're pretty lucky here down under regarding the awards we work under. Some of the working conditions described on the other forums sound so horrible to me. Having to work a night shift then back on for an afternoon shift etc...
What do you guys think? Has anyone here nursed overseas?
