I work on a night shift as an RN. All the other departments in the hospital allow their night shift workers to work 7 days on/7 days off. Our boss believes that can cause workers to become too fatigued/cranky. She therefore restricts us to working a maximum of 5 days in a row before having to have a night off unless she needs us to work more days in a row for some reason. What is good for the goose is apparently not good for the gander. All of us who work under such a schedule feel that all having that 1-2 day period does is temporarily get us off our night schedule and make us more fatigued when we come back to work. Is there any research that can aid us in presenting our case to administration?
