| Hours What kind of hours do some of you work? Can you pick ? Have you ever tried to work the night shift and couldnt do it? I need quite a bit of sleep at night. It may be due to the quality of my bed but theres now way to find out easily. Anyways I was just curious about hours and scheduling. Anything you want to add that I didnt ask would be appreciated. |

Mood:  | Re: Hours There are 9-5 type jobs for RN's (clinics, school nurse, public health nurse, etc....), but most want you to have experience, and most pay a LOT less than other jobs.

Mood: | Re: Hours I have worked in 5 different states, and have worked the following shifts: 3a-3p 7a-7p 11a-11p 3p-3a 6p-6a 7p-7a 11p-11a 7a-3p 3p-11a 6p-2a 11p-7a So, as you can see, it's pretty wide open. If you want to know what shifts are common in your area, check out your newspaper's classified ads or job postings on your local hospital's website to see what shifts they're hiring for.
