  10. What to do to help endure consecutive work stretches

    AnnieNHRN replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you hired for 36 or 40? If 36, then why not just change one of those 12's into an 8? That's a lot of hours crammed into 4 days. Would be too much for me! Make sure you get your lunch
