can some one please tell me if it is legal for a manager to make RN work first shift, and come back for Mid-8am. I'm protesting it, but before I do I want to know if it is legal.

I guess I'm missing something. You say "first shift" and the heading of the thread says "7:30 am to 4pm". Ok. And then you're due back in "mid 8am" (does this mean 8am, 8:30 am?). Which to me means the next day, so what's the problem?

Or do you mean you worked the day shift, and are supposed to come back at 8 PM? If so, for how long?

I believe OP means off @ 1600 back @ 2400. Now ASSUMEing she gets off at exactly 1600, this would give her the legally required (at least in my state) 8 hours off between shifts. But really, it is ridiculous.

OP, refuse this. Do not let them treat you like this. Insane!!! Do you feel your license is safe with such crazy hours? It is your license, not theirs. Refuse!
