Thanks for the replies, so after I gain a years worth of experience, might this sort of schedule be possible? I hear so much about the flexibilty being a great perk about nursing but it seems like the shortage of nurses is more of myth based on alot of what I am reading. I feel like without a shortage it would become more difficult to pull those hours off. What about working a regular 36 in the hospital and then moonlighting at nursing home or something like that?

I am thinking about doing an accelerated bsn but i know very little about the job market right now and the predictied market. My question is, (many of you will think im crazy for asking) if after graduation I wanted to do 5 12 hour shifts a week for 6 months and then take 6 months off would that even be an option? I would imagine that most hospitals would try to avoid paying the overtime if they could or is this not the case. If i could not do this load at one hospital, could i potentially work at two different hospitals to get about 60 hours a week. The 6 months off would not be for any legitimate reason other than i want that time off.
