Thank you for replying NedRN. you ask what I want to happen and mainly it's just really a pain to do the eight hour shifts and I don't get my off time to recoup. I honestly really like the job, the people I work with and the facility as a whole. If I was to be noncompliant to my part of the contract, it would end up costing me a lot of money and be a total pain in the ass. I guess I was just wondering what happens if the facility doesn't pull their end. You were 100% right that it's sad they had to lie about the 8 hour shifts to get me there to begin with. I'm going to try to have a little more patience and continue to work with my recruiter. If it doesn't work, I will have to leave. Thanks again NedRN.

I have been travel nursing for a few years now and have never had this situation occur. I just started at a busy ER in the twin cities, I actually LOVE the job but a problem has arisen. My contract specifically states that the hours are 12 hour shifts/days/nights and 72 hours bi-weekly. I have been scheduled all 8 hour shifts but one the first and second week I've worked. My question is what am I supposed to do if THEY are not keeping up their end of the contract? My recruiter doesn't seem to be sticking up for me. He tells me they are super short and these are the shifts they need. My question is: why did they contract me for 12 hour shifts? Where do I go from here? Do I have any legal leg to stand on as far as getting them to comply or quitting this contract? Thanks for any responses.
