I love 5 8hr shifts

I feel like nursing attracts a lot of people because of 3 12s.. I hated that lifestyle I was dead by day 4 (off day) and my manager would sometimes swing me into night to day shift and it killed my energy and mental health.

I now work 5 eight hour shifts (hospice nurse) and I now have time after my shift to go shopping, grocery store. More stable gym schedule, my mental health is great.

Not trying to persuade, but more so letting nurses know 8hrs aren’t bad.

But if I had the energy I would still do 3 12s.
