What type of shifts can CNA's work

[Mrfox90]

Do CNA's work shifts similar to nurses where you can pull a 12 hour shift or, is it flexible mainly are 12 hour shifts common amongst CNA's

[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

This depends on whether we're discussing CNA employment in the hospital, or in the nursing home setting. Many hospitals schedule CNAs for 12 hour shifts, while many nursing homes offer CNAs the 8 hour shifts.

I worked 8 hour shifts in assisted living and now work 12 hour shifts in a hospital. Some hospitals do offer 8 hour shifts but that is becoming more rare

[JaredCNA, CNA]

It's different everywhere. At the hospital where I work, we do eights.

At the nursing homes and the hospital across town the CNAs can do 12 hour shifts.

I'm sure it's almost as flexible as nursing schedules, but not quite, because there are more nurses to provide coverage to a unit than there are aides.

I did 12 hr shifts at the hospital where I worked just like the nurses.

[alisant]

my hospital offers 8 hours shifts and 12 hour shifts to cna's. it's pretty flexible.

At the hospital that I work at you can normally only work 12 hour shifts. You can only work an 8 hour shift if you pick up an extra shift and don't want to work overtime. Most everyone wants the overtime pay, so people rarely ever work 8 hour shifts.
