Schedules: Help!!

ugh, says the nurse that works 4 10-hour shifts, days, no weekends, minimal holidays & some call. This is so dependent on what works for each individual. There is no right (or wrong) answer. That being said, right now in my life I would pick continental. I know I personally would not function working both days & nights....no can do!

I totally agree that it's very individual. My hospital only requires nurses to work every third weekend but I volunteered to work every other so that I could work six in a row and have eight days off. The only time my schedule varies is if it's my turn to work a holiday that falls outside of my normal schedule. You have to decide what works best for you at this point in your life and go with that. Personally, I wouldn't like either schedule.
