One of the advantages of working 12 hour shifts is having four days off. While working 12 hour shifts, there is limited time to see family, do chores, and sleep so four days off in a row allows you to have a life. In addition I am a night shift worker. My new acting manager wants to limit our days off to three in a row for no reason other than control??. She states to fix staff shortages but there has been an even number of staff on each shift prior to this change. Has as anyone ever heard of this? Is there anything we can do. We are federal RNs so are controlled by Federal guidelines. Thank you.
