I have to agree with Molly assessment of 12 hour shifts and older nurses. I think it takes more of a toll on a person the older one gets. I also think 12 hour shifts are very hard on young moms. Can you imagine a young child not even seeing their mom for a whole day or maybe 2 in a row. That can happen with commute times, bedtimes, etc. I have even seen moms delay going home after a 12 hour day shift because they want the children to be in bed before they arrive home. They are so exhausted from a 12 hour shift, they don't want to face the demands their children would put on them if awake. That is a pretty sad scenario for family life. ------------------ Tired of your employer controlling your life? Find out how you can regain control and enjoy life.
