We will be going to a 6-6 format. Currently the shift starts at 4am-4pm. It's totally brutal and I'm glad I no longer work those hideous hours. There was a vote taken and the majority ruled to change the hours. Day shift is now really upset stating they will get the bulk of the work. All three meals, three accuchecks, etc..
If you work this shift, what does night shift do? We have computerized charting and orders, so there is no 24 hr chart check. They will have a 2100 accucheck, and some meds at 2200, but that is about it.
