I understand where you're coming from, I don't like it either. So for all those loving nursing..it's a choice, I've been one for 31 years, and have only found love in 2 jobs, one wasn't nursing at all that I did for 5 years, and the other was working in a school, which I'm no longer doing.
I just started a new job in which I would have to work 5 nights in a row, yes the night shift in a nursing facility with one day off, then back to work. Is this even legal?. When I asked about this, their response was that they could not change it. And that everyone does it. The person that trained me in is the one that had this shift and stated that she could no longer do it after working it for a year. My fear is that I won't last with this God- forsaken schedule.
