  11. 8hr vs. 12hr work days

    I went into nursing to get away from working 5 days a week. I would much rather work 3 12s. I want the flexibility of having several days off in a row if I need them and being able to be off on a...

    I've interviewed both at a LTC facility and a hospital (and got both jobs). The LTC facility interview was with the ADON and it was a basic interview. i.e. tell me about yourself, your work history,...
