Hello Nurses
I am looking at an opportunity on nightshift but it has no self scheduling. 3 weekend shifts required. I am curious if anyone is on this how you like it. the big challenge on nightshift would be to me block scheduling (3 days in row)

I don't work nights, but I have been a weekend option nurse for over 10 years. Just recently had to change my schedule a little because of some knee issues, but I worked F/S/S forever it seems! Now I work S/S and either Tue or Wed. Ironically, I just had to work 3 in a row and it took me all day the next day to recover. I hate that. When I work 2, off 2, work one, off 2 and then the weekend again, I feel like I get a lot done on Mondays, I am not exhausted.
The $$ is worth it. The weekend shift differential adds up.
